Hi, Though I have been running some factory packages for a while, I just managed to do a full GNOME install of 11.3 on a bare metal and below are some feedback. - Login time is amazing. It seemed almost instantaneous since the moment I clicked on Login in GDM and the panel appeared with background loaded
Good to hear!
- There is a lot of screen flickering during booting. Atleast 3 times, the screen goes colourless (not blank) with only busy mouse pointer shown. This flickering instead of showing the splash screen and gdm screen, is a usability problem.
Just FYI: That happens on 11.1 & 11.2 for me on my last two laptops; screen flashes in and out, and the cursor does jumping jacks [up, about 3/4in down and to the right, back up, usually about four times] between screen flashes. Then it all settles down to a beautiful GDM login screen and everything works perfectly from there on in. Usually the screen is completely blank but sometimes it is B&W.
Last but not the least, booting is fast.
