[01:20] <blue1> has anyone tried 18.04 kubuntu?
[01:38] <valorie> blue1: lots of people, actually
[01:40] <blue1> Is it pretty stable to try yet?
[01:51] <valorie> yes
[01:51] <valorie> I intend to upgrade at beta time
[02:05] <Fritigern>  I haven;t followed the current release cycle, at which stage are we currently? Has 18.04 hit alpha yet?
[03:19] <blue1> Fritigern: here is the release schedule:  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/10/ubuntu-18-04-lts-release-schedule
[03:20] <blue1> I usually wait till at least the first beta
[03:20] <blue1> i think I will wait till May 15 on this.  IIrc they are switching from X11 to wayland -- and I don't expect that will be trouble free.  
[03:37] <hggdh> blue1: no, 18.04 will default to X11, with Wayland as an option

[17:22] <bundito> Is 18.04 reasonably usable lately? I know it's still a pre-release, just thinking of experimenting.
[18:29] <swein> bundito it's been fine for me. latest upgrade has som eweird intel IGPU artifacts, but smooth mostly
