Yet another praise of Beta3

Postby dogdong » Mar 3rd, '16, 17:45

Since Beta 3 arrived I did a lot of testing on various machines:

x86_64:
desktop with i7, nvidia, 8Gb ram
laptop with Core2Dual, nvidia, 4Gb ram, Atheros wifi

i586
netbook with Atom, intel graphics, 2Gb ram, Broadcom 4312 wifi

Almost everything went fine, no special issues (apart from the overall issue of dependencies and requirements, which is not bound to the Beta3). So I had no reason to write about Beta3 earlier.

Now I have a special reason: installation on my netbook. Not surprising that the system works. Not surprising that there are no issues with graphics. Even the easy way of wifi setup (after setting sources with cable connection and installing dkms-broadcom-wl) was something I expected. But what made me really happy and caused me to express my thx to the makers is the easy setup of Skype which is working out of the box with sound & video (built-in webcam), no need to change any settings or twiddle with the sound. Internal mic and speakers work as well as headset. This was not the only cause for praise and Skype is not my most used application either. But it made my day!

So, having a fully functioning device out of the box for mobile use is really something I appreciate! Well done!

What do you mean by Beta3?
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
