R3.2-rc1 - Improvements / Well done / Thanks!

[qubes...@gmail.com]

Hi

Amidst a sea of complaints and bug reports, I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you to everyone who's working on Qubes, so THANK YOU! You are doing an amazing job, guys! :-)

Having just updated to the latest release, the difference for me has been absolutely remarkable - like night and day.

With KDE, Breeze dark theme and font sizes increased to counter my 4K screen and make everything legible again, this is now becoming a joy to use.

If I could only work out how to get Streisand OpenVPN working properly in a ProxyVM, and find a way to use Apple Pages / Numbers etc. via a web browser, I can well imagine Qubes becoming my daily OS.

Given that I'm only just above "idiot" level, I'd say this bodes well for your aims for widespread adoption. Well done, to you all!

Thank you! We're very glad to hear that it's working well for you.

(Check out the recently-updated VPN documentation if you haven't
already: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/. Also, no personal
experience with iWork for iCloud, but it sounds like it has browser
support: https://www.apple.com/iwork-for-icloud/. Does it not work in
Chrome in a Fedora AppVM?)

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it's working much better than 3.1, and great that you've updated KDE! I changed the fonts and got the breeze dark theme going and it's so much easier to work on now!

Didn't manage to get OpenVPN going today, but will try again tomorrow.

I did have another go at using Pages, via Google Chrome in Debian 8. Despite throwing up a warning that one should use a supported browser, it seems to be working fine, so I have but to crack OpenVPN!

Thanks again, QC
