Dedoimedo: the end of a long, beautiful run?

[dreamer]

Sorry, Dedo does NOT work for Canonical ...

Let me quote again:

Igor Ljubuncic is a physicist by vocation and a Linux geek by profession. He works as a developer advocate at Canonical, and comes with many years of experience in the industry, including medical, high-performance computing, data center, cloud, and hosting fields.

I think you got this one wrong:

The other link provided is a summary of the contents of a specific presentation of which Dedo is a participant (the description is NOT Dedo's words, but the presenter"s)

Dedoimedo IS the presenter.

Folks need to take a deep breath and be more circumspect before critiquing someone and spreading disinformation

That's good advice and I fully agree.

Man has this thread gotten lost in the swamp. Too bad.

[Jerry3904]

The Devs have put together a spreadsheet of the many issues he raises and are reviewing it. At first glance it's quite a hodgepodge and we're trying to sort it out ATM.

[dreamer]

but attempting to denigrate the reviewer adds NOTHING

Dedoimedo does work for Canonical and he does promote Snaps. I don't understand why you are upset. This doesn't make Dedoimedo a bad person. It's just something that people should be aware of. And honestly I don't think too many people are aware of that.

I don't think Dedoimedo would be offended in the slightest (by facts). He seems to be a chill person. Yes, let's get back on topic...

Not bad, but like I've seen before:
He is madly in love with KDE/Plasma, so that skews much of the review. With KDE you can endlessly tweak to your heart's content. Xfce can be tweaked, but it doesn't have 2-3 settings to do the same thing, and does not feel as hyper-adaptive as KDE/Plasma.
I think he really does like MX 19, he is just not madly in love with it like his favorite Plasma distros.
Would also add that MX 18 does feel more polished and mature, and it should as it has been around much longer than MX 19. Give MX 19 another year or so and it will feel more polished and mature as well.

[Jerry3904]

Right. No question that Xfce 4.14 presented us with significant challenges.

[Jerry3904]

No problem, mistakes get made (but luckily never by me...). Let's all concentrate on making lemonade instead of cursing the lemons.

After reading the link.

My take away?

The dude quit smoking weed when testing which we all know makes one irritable.

Hehe.. Comment of the year. As I said earlier I think he wants MX to succeed. but this comment is

[Jerry3904]

Absolutely. In its simplest form, we create a Wiki entry that perhaps gives a suggested template, and everybody just uses the Comments (no sign in, no coding) to record the info.

But there are better ways...grouped by manufacturer would be a good start.

Let me consult with our webmaster on this, thanks. I'll start a new thread when ready--great question BTW.
