On the other hand that reference to flattening the kickstart (unless it's just a convenience thing) is a bit worrying. Of course if we're relying on the other kickstarts there's also the possibility of being randomly sunk again because someone else has broken something. > Another thing Brandon brought up, If we're working on changing/reworking the > spin, is there a consensus to move to a lighter DE to help with performance? > I'm in favor. > I don't mind, since using KDE for the spin I've come to quite like it and don't find it too bad in terms of performance installed, but of course on my own system I can install whatever desktop I like. Performance in a live boot probably would benefit from a more lightweight desktop (it would certainly make testing a bit smoother), provided actual usability wasn't impacted. > I will say that the spin does help configure jack correctly (outside of > adding yourself to the jack users group) which is a benefit to linux > newbies. > Definitely agree with this. Even if it hasn't achieved everything Brendan hoped in terms of more packaging support I think having this has helped look at and focus on the out-of-the-box experience for the different packages included, so even if the ISO isn't widely used people are still benefiting from its existence. > > On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 2:47 AM Ian Malone <ibmalone@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 11 September 2015 at 08:14, Brendan Jones <brendan.jones.it@xxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >> > Looks like the spin was dropped due to no one paying attention when the >> > builds were failing.
