15.04 Vivid Vervet releases in two days, so who is making the switch to systemd?
I watched Lou's video on it, and besides Systemd and a newer kernel I don't see any difference between 14.10. Canonical is trying to hard to appeal to the mobile audience and is forgetting the desktop users that are keeping them alive in the first place. At least each Gnome/Cinnamon/KDE release brings noticeable upgrades.

though not being on Ubuntu helps that justnow. Its interesting they decided to switch to systemd I wonder if they will eventually to the same with mur and switch to wayland as everyone else is preparing to do, getting everyone on a solid foundation i definitely think will help.

I will be switching to ubuntu 15.04 since AMD's driver stack for 15.04 is already out and works well. I like Arch but my install keeps running out of space on the / partition. And it is still laggy as hell for no apparent reason. The lag comes and goes. Really annoying.
I will probably wait next LTS (16.04), since i prefer Mint, probably it will take some time for this version, and it will not be as stable as LTS.
I wasn't aware that they are moving to systemd with this release. Finally.. Very cool. Going to start migrating my home server VMs to 15.04.
I'm definitely making the switch, but I'll be using Ubuntu Gnome. Anyone have an idea what time these releases go live?
My Ubuntu gnome install promoted me of the update today and it seemed to have worked fine. Im on 15.04 now.
the new kubuntu is missing some critical widgets imo.
i switched to gnome...
I upgraded, everything is working great! Boots a bit faster too with systemd.
swapping from Arch now. My Arch install got so bad, I couldnt open Terminal without using Guake or TTY shortcut.
I would if I was not on 14.04 LTS.. I think ill jump at 16.04 when they get the kinks worked out :D
Holy crap Ubuntu gnome 15.04 is blazing fast now compared to Arch. Granted I had to reboot into recovery mode and run aticonfig --initial to get the fglrx drivers working but...hey, so far so good.
The move from Upstart to SystemD is great, I've always been more familiar with SystemD from my Arch days. I did an upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 with no issues so far.
Installed 15.04 yesterday. Loving it so far. Happy to see some new Nvidia and AMD Drivers. 14 didn't have drivers for my 750 Ti so I was manually installing them.
I've also noticed that both AMD and Intel processors can now receive microcode updates through jockey. It's so satisfying to see that firmware code bump up a few versions.
I like it alot so far.
MY hardware is running very well on it.
FGLRX no issues installing, multi monitor is still resetting like in 14,04 I think that is a GNOME 3 Issue.
Ubuntu GNOME 15.04
I've been using it for a little over a month with Ubuntu gnome beta. I quite like it :)
I don't really have much to say about it though, other than maybe install gdebi and use that instead of the software centre, not a fan of the software centre.
Its pissing me off a lot now. KVM was flawless under 14.10 gnome . Now its broken and I have to work it out or devolve backwards and wait...I guess this is the price of admission for open source.
Its all free so complain away .....I should learn to code. In fact I would like too.
I've just switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 and also use multiple monitors and I'm currently stuck trying to get different wallpapers on the separate monitors. However it seems Gnome 3 doesn't allow that in any way no matter what you do...
As a noob myself and with info on the googles being sparse, have you had any success in this area?
