    The journey continues. This sequel brings you an on-going, long-term review of Slimbook Pro2 & Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver experience following a series of meaningful, real-life experience use cases, including ergonomics, application behavior and bugs, HD scaling, WINE programs, system stability, performance, and more. This be Report 2. Have fun.

    Not really. I mean there are alternatives - just not as good as these two.

    Also from the review: "LibreOffice also needed some visual tweaking. We did sort it out, more or less".
    LibreOffice - our one [almost] shining star doesn't work with a Linux OS!
    This is why I have an impossible task when I urge people to try Linux. We're still looking for ways to make Window apps work properly with Linux.
    We still have a very steep mountain to climb - and the 753 different variations of Linux available is why we will never reach the summit.
    And now, back to trying to use Polo on my Mint OS, and wishing I could use Directory Opus.
