Maui's an interesting direction for Netrunner to change to. The Rolling version has been a great distro for one of my systems for almost two years. I really like it and was fairly sceptical when the Maui announcement was made. Maybe no more Netrunner Rolling... At the same time, I have an older laptop that runs Lite using xfce and based on Ubuntu LTS. It's been a great distro for everyday use for over 3 years. A rolling plasma running on a LTS base makes a great deal of sense and Neon had already caught my attention because of that.
I have a second desktop that was running Mint 17.3 KDE and I'd begun experimenting with installing Neon or Manjaro on it, to upgrade to Plasma. Considering Maui is Neon with the Netrunner goodies preconfigured, I decided I might as well just try a full hardware install of Maui. I have to admit my scepticism has been replaced with exitement like the comments above! Well done Maui team!
A straight forward install, good package choices, stable system after a couple updates. Most of the goodness I enjoy with Rolling. Surprised when the mint updater popped up in the panel.
I'm fine with Synaptic. Added Clementine vs gmusicbrowser. Themed it to my preferences from using Netrunner Rolling and having a great time using it!
