I have just installed the final release on bare metal, old i7-770K 16gb ram Nvidia GTX1660 with USB stick install. Tried 5 times and failed. Number 6 I cut everything back to a minimal install and this time finally got it to complete the install. It failed at all different stages of the install routine with the first 5 attempts. This is after first choosing GB English for the install.
I really love it, it runs smooth as silk, first thing before de-snapping I installed the Brave browser so I can obtain the Firefox .deb installer after removing all snaps, then installed the X system for programmes which will never run on Wayland. I use Wayland as my primary desktop, and only go to x when I have to do serious office work, as Autokey will never work on Wayland.
Mythtv works beautifully, but for some reason the devs have seen fit to either not include or squirrel away the needed .toml files for infra-red remote controls in some totally inaccessible directory hidden deep in the guts of the o/s. Luckily I have kept previous versions from older o/s's.
It correctly identified all my rather esoteric hardware peripherals, and my sound and video are working beautifully. It is a great release, but the install badly needs sorting out before it puts too many users off.
Well done to all devs, thank you all for all your hard work, Tony.
