Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be released in a few days. I installed the beta version of Xubuntu to see how it works.
Ubuntu has dropped Python 3 and the old repo version of CHIRP. The chirp-daily Linux tarball will no longer run locally because of Python 2 no longer being available. A lot of people using CHIRP on Linux are not going to be happy.
I installed the Windows version of chirp-daily on WINE 5.0 and it appears to work but the GUI theme looks terrible and the memory editor column order isn't saved if I rearrange the columns.
Are there any other Windows DLLs or components that should be installed with winetricks to improve CHIRP's appearance or functionality when running it under WINE?
