I'd imagine most people on 12.04 will stick with it until 14.04 comes out. 12.04 is an LTS release, and is supported for 3-5 years from the release date where 12.10 through 13.10 are normal releases, and are only supported for 9 months from release.

However, anyone on 12.10 should be able to "do-release-upgrade" and upgrade themselves to 13.04.

Now what about releease notes? :-) (edit: some information is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/TechnicalOverview )

Currently i am thinking of switching to LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) because i don't really like the way Ubuntu is going with Unity, Mir, upstart, doing too much stuff on its own.

Anyone with experience from LMDE here? Is it stable? Pros? Cons?

It does feel slightly odd to (finally) have arm listed as an available architecture for the images. And I say that as someone who has run Ubuntu on my "Android tablet".

I guess I'm just not yet used to "proper Linux" being something you can download for embedded-type architectures and devices without heading to XDA first.

Still. Definitely Good to see Ubuntu expanding support to the sort of devices which are actually new and interesting.

I've been using it for a month and haven't regret a single second of it. by the way, Nexus 7 and other MTP device users: plug your device in and enjoy full read write support by default :)

Is it possible to make an update from 12.10 without having to reinstall the system?

EDIT: "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" did the trick. I will keep updated on progress.

Am I now able to install it in addition to an UEFI Win8 installation without any tricks?

Doesn't seem to be any point for me [1], I don't use Python, or Libreoffice. And I use gnome-session-fallback, can't stand Unity, and just wish they'd give me an OOBE setting for having an 'old-school' Gnome 3 session!

Although Linux 3.8.8 might well make me upgrade.
