[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu 17.10

[Keefer Rourke]

I'm currently running Fedora 27 beta, and I'm really disappointed with
GNOME 3.26.1 until recently, Mutter would crash any time you closed a
maximized (or half-tiled) window. For a "stable" release, GNOME is
hugely disappointing.
The bugs in *vanilla* GNOME have been show-stoppers for the final
release of Fedora 27 -- I'm honestly surprised that Canonical decided
to release 17.10 with the current state of things.
Cheers,Keefer
