I'm wondering why starting from 9.10 the boot loader started to be an
infinite loop progressbar (like windows always does)?? it was better in
previous versions that I'm able to track the percent of loaded and what's
remaining, or at least know that there is a progress (in slow computers)
instead

Having that set of indicators will help for sure. I have seen my laptop

At least I said based on my observation with computer beginners (they don't
[want to]* understand anything, they just wait the login-screen then the
Firefox icon, their so WAW thing is the theme and desktop background; that's

The first indication is when I see that the system stops working as

For example couple of years ago, my previous

maybe, it's very hard to always notice that the system is working as
expected or not. and sometimes the system doesn't *start* as expected to be
from the beginning so it's not *stopping* here to notice it.
