I have been using Ubuntu 12.10 since opening, since April I was waiting the pop-up that tell us that there is a new version available, now I have seen this message and I have a question.



How many of you have upgraded Ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04? Can you tell me what is your experience in this time? Positive and negative comments will be appreciated.

This answer only reflects the situation on my box, an Acer Aspire 5750G notebook.



Positive:




  1. Ubuntu One icon in the status menu.


  2. System settings - Details - Graphics displays the right name of my driver


  3. Unity Tweak Manager in Ubuntu Software Repository.


  4. More lenses and scopes available.


  5. Lenses work faster.




Negative




  1. Brightness Fn-left Fn-right doesn't work, even not with acpi_backligt=vendor etc (switched to the old 12.10 kernel to make it work)


  2. Desktop solid color (except black) does not work.


  3. A lot of GPU hungs. Screen freezes (e.g. during screen scrolling). Hard reboot needed.


  4. The first minute after boot, the 'load' is very high and lenses don't work.


  5. Nautilus is naked like never before.




Because of all these GPU hungs I now use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS if I have to do work. 13.04 is back to one of my sandbox partitions.
