[QUOTE="AriDfoix, post: 763038, member: 74707"] Beta or even Nightly channel of software development, you agree to take the risks of eventual bug that may arise from such usage; some users allow those conditions because are able to troubleshoot them or either they have a dedicated machine for do beta testing; is usually suggested to not employ beta OS or beta software on production environment, unless having some dedicated machines for it, someone have dedicated machines for such software before rolling it to production channel. What may go wrong wrong? Everything, or nothing, data corruption or else... I know a bit of these for Android, LineageOS after all propose bi-weekly nightlies now :P On Windows, I am not much interested anymore, no longer a fan of the OS, I have kept just one machine, and thinking of install LTSB on it :) [/QUOTE]
