All this does is point to the ISO repos. This adds nothing to your argument.

Upgrading from one release to another wouldn’t uninstall anything already installed, so this is moot. Also, there is nothing saying it was going to change, so just calm down and don’t worry about it that much. It was merely a suggestion and idea, not an overturn of established

My opinion: Unless you’re willing to “eat your own dogfood” (i.e. use the product you’re contributing to) then you’re just providing noise. That’s just my opinion. You’ve been very vocal on here and almost acting dictatorial. I’m offering suggestions, you’re offering mandates and dismissing suggestions. I’m sure your opinion is valued, but it would hold more weight if you used the product you’re trying to direct.

Again, it’s my opinion, and merely my opinion. My views (alone) do not dictate the direction of Ubuntu Studio. Also, as I said before, my suggestion included keeping QJackCtl in the repos, although keeping it installed by default but adding Cadence isn’t a bad idea either.

Your opinion has been noted and will be considered in the decision. No need to further argue or belabor the issue.
