Overall:
Used command line and system. Seems OK.
Cosmic Final as of Sunday 14th October 2018
Downloaded 32-bit iso, installed it, used it - fine except for a few quirks.
Hardware details:
Samsung NC10 Netbook
Intel Atom N270, 1.66GHz, 32-bit, 2GiB RAM, 149.05 GiB hard drive, no optical drive, Ethernet and WiFi connections.
Used USB flashdrive to install, used WiFi connection for the Internet.
During install:-
* When setting Region: Europe, Zone:London, the entry "UnitedKingdom" needs a space in it.
* When using partitioner, the "Edit Existing Partition" was unusable until maximised.
* One of the progress messages reads "Starts procedure and passes 'fw_type'" (didn't catch all of the message). Do you really think the end users should be seeing this?
Normal use, after install:-
* Using LO Writer, I pressed F1 for help and got the message "LibreOffice builtin help for current UI language (English(USA)) is not installed on your system" and this is wrong because I told the installer to use British English.
* Played around with Firefox, LO Writer, LO Calc
* LO Calc was a bit sluggish in starting.
* Games. Is there anything besides 2048-Qt that can go in here? At least a meta-package of games that don't drag in a huge swathe of dependencies.
* Installing emacs in bash "sudo apt install emacs" worked but the prompt "Do you want to continue? [Y/n]" does not appear until you press a key - I used SHIFT (this could be because it does not have a newline in it).
