Has anyone on this list[s] have tried Win10 and tested LO 4.4.x on that
system?
I installed via the so-called 'Insider Preview' on a Thinkpad x120e. I
haven't used it very much and I haven't installed LO or OO yet.
so far:
a) AMD Catalyst program seems broken and I haven't succeeded yet in
fixing it and updating the driver for the Radeon 6310.
b) system gets unusable if I try to use my usb-connected Logitech
trackball, the cursor moves but no responses to clicks; then the
keyboard goes wonky so no right or left clicks work from the inbuilt
trackpad.
c) the default theme and colors seem dour, fonts fuzzy, but so far I
can't find a pallette to choose from. there are even worse themes to
select from and a limited set of about 8 dour colors. I haven't tried
yet to install true-type (that's a separate procedure, right?).
d) perforce I have a Microsoft account but I turned off most of the
'call home' features and don't use Cortana or One-drive and so forth
but I suspect there's plenty of 'telemetry' going on behind the
scenes, not wholly inappropriate for a preview version.
e) I can't tell yet about speed and performance, too little usage, but
it boots kind of slow but seems ok otherwise.
I suspect there are fixes for some of the problems; feel convinced I
could improve the display if I could get good drivers.
I will be looking at adding some menu background graphics [via
Firefox's options]. But in the original default install, the
"window's" look and feel is not good. It just does not look as well
as it did when I had the system running Win7.
I concur with the above (limited experience with Win7); didn't know
about Firefox supplying background graphics?
