On the whole, I agree heartily - 10.1 seems a clear improvement in a number of ways, and the team managed to introduce some big changes rather smoothly. I have no problem migrating all my 10.0 and 9.3 machines to 10.1, and look forward to sled10 and sles10 for the business desktop and data center, where they stand to gain some ground. The one thing that has a really unfinished feel to it is the Xgl. I love it, it's great eye candy, and it makes windoze users salivate with envy. But the overall integration into the system is a kludge - meaning that I can have the eye candy and ultra snappy GUI, or I can use DRI, (e.g. 3D FPS) - but to move between the two activities requires a reconfiguration and restart of the X server - hardly something joe six-pack will want to deal with (unless someone knows a clever shortcut to start up a separate xorg server from within an xgl session) Also, I noticed that a lot of games (frozen bubble etc) don't work on the xgl desktop. I trust that Novell/SuSE will be employing their considerable resources to help work this out, and make the Xgl-DRI interoperability more seamless, because when that happens, this GUI will be second to none. The present situation is quite promising, with only this one glitch which mars an otherwise ideal GUI experience.
