I have been running these on several systems since Rik initially put them in the staging PPA and I haven't had any issues.

[Darin Miller (darinmiller)]

Frameworks 5.68 installed and runs great on a hybrid laptop with NVidia and Intel drivers. I can readily test more systems if needed.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

ACK from me under the Kubuntu FFe delegation

[Rik Mills (rikmills)]

ACK also from me under FFe delegation

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Successfully tested in a VM. Krunner, Application Launcher, kinfocenter, konsole, Discover, Dolphin, Kate, System Settings, ksysguard, Firefox, and Libre Office all passed a quick sanity test.

2nd system (Intel laptop) upgraded to 20.04 with Staging Frameworks working great with fw 5.68.
