I don't agree. PPA should be used only to install unstable / unsupported
features. I think the problem is that a lot of very good programs aren't in
the default repository and need to be installed via PPA.
PPA installation shouldn't be too easy for newbies, because it can be risky
for their system
Exactly.

Here is another question. How to convince app devellopers to want
integration of their applications in the repos. I know there is a project
for that (it's the next step after the website to integrate commercial app).
But I can't find it again.

Hi all,
thanks to a kind reply from Jono to a comment I did on one of his
posts, I discovered Balsamiq.
I installed it and tested a bit and later I discovered this:

Just add 'ppa:diesch/testing' (or whatever PPA you want) using the Software
Sources dialog.

There are a few things we need before we can consider making adding PPAs
easy. First of all, we need an easy way to limit what packages can be
upgraded/installed from that PPA. If you add a PPA because you want a
set of fancy wallpapers, for instance, then that PPA should not be able
to push a patc
add-apt-repository does it pretty easily.

We used to be able to use super+a to open the Applications lense and
super+f to go to the Files and Folders lense. That appears to no longer
be functional. So I press super to open the dash and I search, which
seems to only show opened files. I can search for applications by

I totally agree. But this have been discussed times ago (with evolution) and
it seems not every one want this.

Surely this could be added as optional at the very least. The old 'me
menu' was very different to the new 'messaging menu', maybe people would
feel differently about it with the new layout and the combination of the
2 menus.
It kinda misses the point of being a 'messaging menu', when in fact i

I have absolutely no idea :(
All I know is that there is an extension added for Unity support that
seemingly adds a number badge to the launcher icon. And isn't working
for me. Maybe someone else can give a better answer.

Maybe we should find a way in the middle. I mean: if you want a secure
system you should make installation of ppas harder. If you want a system
which can be easily extented and is very end-user friendly you need a
easier setup for ppas. So wouldn't it best to check the ppas and give
