This is why it might not be a bad thing if Livecode can roll its own 
wherever possible so that Apple's, Microsoft's or Slugworth's
policy-du-moment doesn't f**k up our work.

Bl**dy hilarious to the "other" Linux user out here . . .

"Aksherly" . . . if one believes the murmurs on the Linux grapevine Arch 
is the "coming-man"

while Ubuntu might be best described as "the coming-man already gone" as 
there is a slight feeling
that Slugworth and Co. have got a bit too arrogant and stopped listening 
to their installed base.

I am currently doing reasonably well with Ubuntu Studio 14.10 as it uses 
XFCE without all sorts
of funninesses that seem to crop up with Xubuntu, and don't have the 
faux Windows 8 kiddy-kit
of Ubuntu [or is it Windows 8 that has the faux Ubuntu kiddy-kit?].
