I can speak for Ubuntu only but I installed it and upgraded many times without a glitch. So easy that I ended up using non-master branches regularly. I stopped using it over a year ago though because it offered no zaps and Mike made it clear he would never add them.
Focused on privacy ???
Gossip has zaps. It doesn't have wallet connect. For zaps you pick an amount and it gives you a QR code. You scan that with your phone wallet to pay it. Notes show zap totals (and will show the individual zappers in the future). Good feedback.
I just zapped you from primal (webapp) with a single mouse click. That's a zap capabilty!
Use the client that serves you best. I'm glad you can one-click zap me. Please do it whenever the spirit moves you. I'm not complaining that people aren't using gossip. I just wanted to know why people choose the apps they do and if I should refocus on something that is more important than the deep-internals I've been bogged down in. You've been very clear and it is helpful, thanks.
