I installed 13.2 on my notebook, shortly after it was released. Due to problems with it, I rolled back to 13.1. That is something I've never had to do before in all the time I've been running Linux. Fortunately, 13.1 is an Evergreen release so it will be supported for longer than usual. I'll stick with it until the mess that's 13.2 gets resolved. 13.2 was clearly not properly thought out, nor release ready.
Indeed.
Normally I upgrade a couple of weeks after the upgrade is officially released. However the reports I'm seeing, not least of all from Vojtěch, are discouraging me. All in all this is much more like a old X.0 or a beta release. Particularly as the items being brought up are 'front line' ones rather than fringe cases of rarely used or specialist items. Backups/imaging and Broadcom wifi are pretty fundamental!
The Bible talks of being trusted with small things ... I'm sure there are other exhortations from other sources. The common theme seems to be that things that worked are now broken.
More common is the fact that many of the "new" replacement packages haven't been tested enough or were mature enough to replace the previous way of doing things. Just a couple of examples: init-->systemd KDE 3-->KDE 4 change to dracut Why are these changes being forced upon us before they are production ready? Is it to get more bug reports for fixes because "we are the guinea pigs" now? Don't get me wrong I am for change. I really do appreciate the change to systemd now that most of the hurdles have been jumped, bugs fixed and features added. It's just that we should not have been forced into the change _until_ they were done.
