Re: [orca-list] will installing mate mess up sighted users?

[Zahari Yurukov <zahari yurukov gmail com>]

Hi,
If you have multiple desktop enviroments, you can use one and ignore the
others if you want.
However, the installed programs by one of the DE will show on the
others, which could be a benefit or defect - depending of your point of
view.
I guess you're aware, that Ubuntu 15.04 is not a stable version and will
reach end-of-life in January 2016, i.e. after 5 months.
I haven't tried Ubuntu 15.04 - is there something perticulary
interesting in this version, which makes it preferable compaired to 14.04?

Best wishes,
Zahari
