Ahoy,
came across Netrunner recently and from what I read here and there it looks quite neat. Since it’s based on Kubuntu, what exactly are the differences between Kubuntu and Netrunner?
Are there many differences, or just a couple small ones?
Also since it’s based on it, are Kubuntu and Netrunner .deb files binary compatible?
I need to redo my work laptop at some point, currently it’s running Kubuntu 12.04 LTS, and am pondering if I should go again with Kubuntu or switch to Netrunner. Is there anything else I should be aware of before switching?
Does the installer offer the option, like with the *buntus, to encrypt your home partition?
Will Netrunner also have LTS releases? Are their EOLs same as those of Kubuntu?
There any further information available yet if Netrunner will go with Wayland or with Canonical’s Mir? (I know, it’s still fairly early )
How easy is it with Netrunner to get stuff like VLC and audacious playing with media files? Separate media repository, or all within main Netrunner repositories?
Cheers,
R
