LMDE disapointment.

Postby raymerjacque on Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:07 pm

There is just simply too many bugs currently with LMDE, Ive been using it for only one day and already want to put my fist through a wall ... Silly little things like setting default apps dont work, under brightness and lock there is no option to switch off ... And dont even get me started on wine, I spent most of the day just getting wine installed only to find out that almost nothing runs ... And i had so many questions, for example i have read NOT to use ubunuty or mint software, yet the mint software manager is included ? its all very confusing and i cant find any straight answers to simple questions.

Most of all i am dissapointed in the lack of documention surrounding LMDE. The FAQ's are all over the place and hard to follow, the release notes and known bugs are vague, and when posting asking questions i get told to search, its all been discussed before, searching just results in more questions as some users hail LMDE while others dont, no one seems to have any clear facts that they post.

Can someone not just make a simple Sticky post and says "This is working, this is not, what to expect with LMDE, if you want to use wine stay away, known bugs etc etc etc". < - if that existed i would not have wasted a day downloading and another installing.

End result, Dissapointed, going back to normal Mint and dont think i will return to LMDE anytime in the near future. Maybe in a year or two if any progress has been made i may check it out again. but for now i am too pissed off to bother.
