You are being incredibly demanding on someone (me) who isn't paid to do any of this and that I do it in my spare time. In fact, nobody on my team is paid to do any of this. Perhaps a public reminder of this needs to go out via all social media channels and a blog post?
Either way, this is CC'd to the user support list where this email SHOULD have gone to begin with, not to my personal email.

It had that reputation (pastense, that was an interview from 4 years ago and was done by someone who is now a friend) because, before I came along, it literally had zero development for the two years prior, so it literally was dead. Now it's alive and thriving and no longer has that reputation. But bear in mind, I'm only a volunteer. I am *not* paid to do the work, so emailing me directly about a grub issue, which I don't even touch (that's all done at Canonical), is entirely inappropriate when it's all done in the bug tracker. > > When Canonical opens the development cycle for the upcoming release, they > do so with widely available web based file directories with the output of > Daily Build processes for all interested parties to access.

I just had an upgrade error involving GRUB on Mantic, so that tells me it's not isolated. However, again, that's not Ubuntu Studio's issue because, and I cannot stress this enough: UBUNTU STUDIO IS NOT A SEPARATE DISTRIBUTION FROM UBUNTU. It is *merely* a different default installation. Nothing more, nothing less. The foundations team at Canonical is working on it.

That is false. Ubuntu Studio does not oversee the development of the Lowlatency kernel. That's, again, done by the Canonical at the kernel team. > > You may want to check the original reporter of this issue I am trying to > bring to your attention. > Is he still waiting for your team to get a working install package > available or did he give up and consider this distro dead because the > appropriate parties haven't fixed it. Again, not my team, and you're being very demanding of people who are volunteering their time and not paid to do this.
