#62I already did. Love the new Bluebird theme for Xfce.
The only problem I had was TouchFreeze[1] got uninstalled and removed from the repository :/
I had to look around but eventually I downloaded the source from launchpad[2] and installed it[3]
[1] App to freeze touchpad while typing
[2] bzr branch lp:ubuntu/touchfreeze
[3] qmake && make && cp touchfreeze ~/bin/

I'm sticking with LTS too. Seems like new kernel+x.org have some problems with non-intel graphic cards. Now Ati works, NV doesn't. I tried the RC on my notebook, didn't notice any changes.
Yeah. I'm using 10.10RC and when I upgraded, my dual-screen monitor setup (nvidia card) didn't work with my old config. I eventually dropped my config and let it make its own. Then it was -very- prone to crashing. I just finally fixed it by disabling one of the screens today. At least, I think it is. It's extremely hard to track down because it happens almost randomly. But it definitely started when I upgraded.
Update: Switching to a single screen didn't fix it. It just made it happen less often. -sigh-

#64Just upgraded from 10.04 to the Maverick RC. Apart from messed up trackpad configuration on my MacBook Air and the new font requiring some time getting used to, seems fine.
Trackpad configuration was fixed by installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. After also installing the new "application menu" the desktop looks nice!

#65I will not be upgrading tonight. (Yesterday)
Due to ATI's poor Linux support on their newer video cards, even upgrading my kernel is often a pain. Furthermore, without significant new features, I'm perfectly happy to keep my box chugging along with 10.04 LTS.

Same here. For most things it makes little difference, but over time I'm finding that some apps I want to install are rather stubborn about their dependencies. So I have a dated vlc, a dated Amarok, etc. I want to update, but I need to do a solid disk image backup of my laptop first in case shit happens. I've been running 9.x or 10.x or so on my desktop, with Trinity KDE3, and have been pretty happy with it; hibernat…
There hasn't been a better media player since Amarok 1.4, and it's no longer in the repository :-(. Even Pana and Clementine which aim to be remakes of Amarok 1.4 fail to meet all of the nice subtleties. And we all know what a piece of shit Amarok 2.x is...
I tried getting Amarok 1.4 to build on my mac, but that failed. :(
I really like Amarok 1.4. Don't like 2.x. (Don't like KDE 4, either, so I'm glad Trinity is around, despite its quirks).

Wow, Trinity is impossible to search for. May I have a link, sir?
