Re: [orca-list] Questions about Distributions



I tried Debian a few times back in December. They always prided themselves on having the widest range of hardware compatibility. Unfortunately, it is the only distro that doesn’t support some hardware in my laptop. My first choice is Fedora, but since I can’t get Mate to bring up the app launcher with the windows key like Ubuntu Mate does, Ubuntu is my next choice.

For years I have been pondering submitting a bug report to Debian about

their naming conventions. My department had a problem with Debian stable

releases taking  too long. I really wanted to switch us to Debian

testing but my boss had the predictable response, we're not running a

testing distribution. So we switched to Ubuntu STS instead. But I'll bet

that Debian testing is more stable than Ubuntu STS. If it just had a

different name, we'd be running debian testing today.
