Well, for me (YMMV) sound has been kind of problematic:
* volume drops to almost zero sometimes (quite frequently, actually) between
tracks playing on rhythmbox (have to manually increase it all the time,
which is a PITA). It seems to happen more frequently when I manually skip a
song.
* no sound on headphones [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500418
]
(... I hope sound gets a lot of love before F12 is released :-P)
Other issues:
* PackageKit and RPMFusion gstreamer packages are not getting along well,
and as a result you might be unable to play MOV and WMV movies with the
default player (totem) [https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764]
MPlayer is a good alternative.
* rhythmbox stops playing and uses lots of CPU if you enable crossfading [
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516939]
* random "blanks" that seem to be related to gnome-power-manager. These are
harmless, though, it's as if power saving kicks in at the wrong times.
Aside from these (minor, but annoying) issues, there's lots of improvements:
* faster boot
* overall speed improvements
* ext4
* OpenOffice 3.1
* Firefox 3.5
So I'd say "go for it" -- but as someone already suggested, I'd recommend an
installation from scratch rather than an upgrade from F9 to F11.
Regards,
Andre
