And any bug you file about a problem in one of those categories certainly qualifies as a 'fit and finish' issue. But as a test day topic, it might be a bit boring to spend the whole day testing e.g. copy-and-paste between app Xand Y to fill a big matrix...Matthias
The point of testing is to find issues and get them fixed. When issues are found but ignored because you don't run a pristine system with no questionable modules (closed source drivers) then it gets frustrating to even test.
For me, I am about to test my wife with a F11 install on her laptop. It will be interesting to see.
I have three issues that I see as major problems.3D support out of the box. I know that this is a major issue. For a home system it is a requirement. No 3D, not use.
My own major headache is how to set up the locale to a format for all users across the system that works. I tried to modify the LC_X variables but I started to get all kinds of error messages, (on F10) so I just gave up. This is a RFE but to me it is a usability issue.
Finally as mentioned before. Codecs. Again the law is in the way. I will be participating when I can. -- Robin Laing
