Perhaps it's hardware: my home computer is a lot newer than my workplace computer. 11.0 is fine for now, however I wanted to upgrade at home for improved multimedia and some other eye-candy stuff, plus the new toolchain. It's not critical, however. Like I said, everything runs for me pretty much like it did before. The thing with my printer is that I think it ran out of ink at the same time that I upgraded, so that's totally unclear. I had a little trouble merging in the new configuration files, but that again I take responsibility for.
IDK, if Pat says it's an essential upgrade, then I take that to mean "you should upgrade if you want the most current version." I wanted the most current version at home. I did not want the most current version at work, since it's a much bigger headache and more time to waste if I do it.
People may be having problems because KDE is in a new place: now it's in /usr and before it was in /opt/kde; that means that anything that was in /opt/kde/apps is now in /usr/apps. That threw me off a little at first, so I tarred up everything (just digikam and KDE theme manager) in /opt/kde and then extracted it in /usr. My configuration files, however though everything was still in /opt/kde, so they went crazy for a little bit. I just fixed them to point to the new files and now everything's cool.
I've had no problems compiling anything.
