+0 usable experience, but something different i.e. fallback Qt theme
+1 good and stable experience (ideal)
+2 good but less stable experience, need workaround i.e. force Qt theme

Disclaimer notes:

For this patch release, tested host system is limited to installation of dependencies, binary package via dpkg and makefile (selected host system) and pkexec and sudo authentication methods. Core features, such as "Select ISO" and "Rebuild ISO", have not been tested due to time consuming affairs.

Recent changes made:

  • Revised text for better description
  • Reduced text (details can be read in respective issues)
  • Evaluation score is added for tested host system
