Re: Distrowatch reveiw grumbles
I do think for those going on DW and reading such a wish/claim like that:
They might understand that this user might have limited understanding of the debian package system and perhabs a similar low level understanding on the major issues which wine tries to solve.... If it was possible to run any deb successfully and use wine/playonlinux as normal ...

I'm not sure we should be playing any guessing games. Someone writes an opinion, they are entitled to it.
the wine-staging comment might even be a valid point. but its something we've offerred for a long time.

Re: Distrowatch reveiw grumbles
Yes, but to knock off that many points for that and his proprietary deb problems is unwarranted, IMO. Oh well, the 10/10 reviews swamp that one out. Maybe it's how we always use to laugh at the Russian judge's scoring in the Olympics.dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 4:39 pm I'm not sure we should be playing any guessing games.

Re: Distrowatch reveiw grumbles
Someone who writes a review, whether good or bad, should be prepared to put their name to it.
BTW it is spelled review!

My bad. It was really late when I submitted the original post and it slipped past me.
