Hello Robin,

Don't worry about it too much. Perhaps you could have been a bit more
tactful, but when it comes to FOSS projects, negative user feedback is
better than no feedback at all.

On the other hand, providing more detailed feedback would be even
better. Since the next task I've assigned to myself in the
TestingSubteam is an InstallationReportTemplate for our wiki, and since
you have indicated you are interested in helping with testing, perhaps
we can profit from your experience?

In other words and more generally addressed to everyone:

Perhaps we can work out our installation testing procedure using U-lite,
MoonOS or other LXDE-on-Ubuntu distros? Then, once Lubuntu is ready to
try, we will have our testing procedure ready to go. As well, we can
help the other projects by giving them more detailed feedback on their
efforts.

If anyone is interested in adding to or commenting on the
InstallationReportTemplate or procedure, head on over to the starting
point at the TestingSubTeam page, and look under "Current Tasks":

Cheers
