When I upgraded from F10 to F11, I had a couple of significant problems. I don't recall now what they were, but they were very common problems whose solutions were well documented in the mailing lists. I have remained at F11 in part because it is working well, so I'm reluctant to risk screwing it up, and in part because I have gotten the general impression, by reading this very list, that F12 is screwed up in so many ways. I haven't made any effort to track that in a statistically sensible way. It's just that I read so many complaints about F12 being borked this way and that, that I have always felt it wise not to open that particular can of worms. What is your take - given F12's state of fixedness *right now* am I better off staying with F11, or upgrading to F12? When F13 comes out, would I be able to upgrade directly from F11 to F13, or will I have to pass through F12 on the way? In principle, I ought to be able to copy my whole F11 installation into a VirtualBox virtual hard disk, then try upgrading that just to see if it would work. I've actually been considering doing so, because I have so very many packages installed now, that if there was still any kind of pervasive brokenness, attempting to upgrade would screw the pooch but good.
