Plus we share the distribution releases of the past week and provide a list of torrents we are seeding. In our Opinion Poll we ask what base distribution our readers prefer when they are running a rolling release platform. In addition, we report on Ubuntu switching from using Wayland as the default display server to returning to Xorg as the default for version 18.04. We also cover openSUSE 42.2 reaching the end of its supported life, Mint's new code testing processes and how to build an inexpensive robot using Ubuntu. In our News section we discuss SolydXK, normally a 64-bit exclusive distribution, releasing 32-bit community editions. Plus we do some side-by-side comparisons of init software and boot times. Then, in our Questions and Answers column, we talk about Debian-based projects geared toward running on workstations and laptops. We begin with a look at siduction, a rolling release distribution which is based on Debian's Unstable development branch. This week we explore some different flavours of Debian and discuss how people can enjoy the benefits of Debian's many packages and tools without being limited by Debian Stable's conservative characteristics.
