IkthelHello ^_^ is anyone online at the moment? Not looking for any trouble shooting help or anything just want to ask opinions.15:17
IkthelThe input im looking for is people's take on Gnome3 as opposed to KDE4 not looking to start a flame war but rather ask why people prefer certain Desktop Environments.15:19
sn9it's just personal preference15:20
IkthelI myself like many others am not a big fan of Unity so I've sort of jumped ships if you will and have been trying other distro's and I'm liking bits and pieces of the different environments and seeing as my computing skills fall short of being able to forge a hybrid desktop environment15:22
IkthelI'm just curious about people's main uses/reasons for their choices15:22
IkthelAt the moment Gnome 3 is fun for me but I've been eyeballing some of the cosmetic effects on KDE415:23
Ikthelwas wondering if maybe there is a way to incorporate the effects seen in KDE4 into Gnome 3 =?15:25

philipballewthere's a lady next to me at starbucks who lugged in a mac desktop, monitor and keyboard. all I can ask is why...23:34
seidosshe doesn't have a notebook?23:35
broderthat's actually kind of impressive23:35
philipballewshe has a power strip that all of it is running off of.23:36
seidosmaybe it's how she gets her exercise23:36
philipballewseidos, nope. she had the keyboard on her lap and the monitor on a chair in front. I assume she just doesn't have Internet at her house. I rode my bike here so i got a little :)23:37
seidosyou should ask her if she wants an ubuntu cd23:37
sn9is it an imac?23:38
philipballewi think it might be a mac mini. nevertheless shr needs a powerstrip with 4 items plugged it sn923:38
sn9the mini is a tiny square box23:38
philipballewthen its not that23:39
philipballewthey use to have desktops. its not one of their giant ones. and its not all in one. haha23:39
sn9not in many, many years23:40
sn91998 iirc23:40
philipballewthe imac is nice because its all in one, but somewhat bad because its hard to get into the insides23:41
sn9it's not hard23:42
sn9well, depending which model23:42
philipballewhaha. its a mac though.23:45
philipballewsomeone gave me one of the old imac crt monitor all in one's a few months back. cant find anything to do with something with 64mb of ram23:45
