Greetings, I thought I'd pass along a bit of feed back. I will start with the easy one.
I tested the 20200413 daily live focal-desktop-amd64.iso on the MS Surface Pro2. Not only could I _not_ find a problem with it, I was SO impressed by how much better and responsive it was vs 18.04 (the OS previously installed). The detachable keyboard was sometimes hit-and-miss on if it would work on 18.04, but no matter how or what I tried I couldn't get it to fail with the 20.04 beta. I'm really impressed! Thank you and congratulations to all involved. The more interesting one is an HP 14-dq1033ci. I initially started with this iso: lubuntu-20.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso . I found two things wrong that were not an issue on 19.10 but I think both are driver related and I'm not sure where to report a bug for them. 1. There was SERIOUS video tearing whenever there was any kind of movement on the screen. However, after today's intel-media-va-driver update to 19.4.0r+dsfg1-1 (at least, I'm guessing at this because it was the only thing that even semi-related package that makes sense), the vast majority of the tearing went away. If I click and hold the title of a window and move it around really fast, I can see it a little bit. And there are a few icons when I hover over them there will be a line through the icon until the next refresh, but there was SIGNIFICANT improvement after today's update. I did check, and I have all the relevant Intel driver packages (that I know about anyway) so I don't think I'm missing anything. I just never saw this kind of screen tear with this laptop using 19.10. 2. The web cam no longer works at all. If I start any program (such as Cheese), it is just a black screen. Shortly after boot this error below is in dmesg. To be honest, I've not had time to really research the issue so it could be something trivial on my end, but I thought I'd report it tonight since I've done a lot of testing yesterday and today. :-) [ 3.176709] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Extension 4 was not initialized!

It looks like it is easily the best release yet! (and since I tend to jump LTS to LTS, I've even more excited about how great this beta has been in my testing!)
