| Takyoji | Anyone have an idea of an alternative for people to map their location, as of our LoCo? | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | Takyoji: alternative to...? | 02:52 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: I'm still using 10.04...holding out for Gnome 3 to be in the repos. | 02:53 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: LP used to have a Google Maps feature, but removed it :( | 02:54 |
| h00k | :o oh, they did! | 02:54 |
| Takyoji | tonyyarusso: a replacement for the map feature on Launchpad | 03:45 |
| * Obsidian1723 is waiting for a fork of gnome2 | 03:52 | |
| Obsidian1723 | I'm not a fan of gnome3 or unity at all. | 03:52 |
| Obsidian1723 | unity, gnome3, and even Windows 8 Metro UIs, all alienate users. | 03:53 |
| Takyoji | So yea, I'm writing a poll about that, for the mailing list. :P | 03:53 |
| Obsidian1723 | I love gnome2's minimalistic-yet-very-customizable approache. XFCE is close, but close enough. It lacks. | 03:54 |
| Obsidian1723 | Unless someone forks gnome2, I'll probably just go to the command line or XFCE. | 03:55 |
| Takyoji | I have the questions "current distro", "distro you'd suggest to others", and so on. Should I have it single choice or multiple choices? | 03:57 |
| Takyoji | are there any distros where GNOME 3 is pretty much choiceless? :P | 04:06 |
| tonyyarusso | What do you mean by choiceless? | 04:25 |
| Takyoji | as in it being the default desktop environment, I guess | 04:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Fedora | 04:29 |
| Takyoji | Also, should I have it multiple choice or not for questions of "current desktop OS", "desktop OS you'd suggest to others", etc? | 04:30 |
| Takyoji | Whereas, they can choose more than one option at once or not | 04:30 |
| Takyoji | tonyyarusso: Look good? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dHV5N19XOGFDbFozNkhiUWVhNy1IV0E6MQ | 04:50 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: um, Unix is not Linux. | 05:00 |
| Takyoji | I know that | 05:00 |
| Takyoji | So "none of the above", or? :P | 05:00 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 05:01 |
| Takyoji | Or "nothing Linux/Unix"? | 05:01 |
| tonyyarusso | sure | 05:01 |
| tonyyarusso | You may also need to explain the "as of a year ago" bit to people more. Like, but a blurb at the top stating your purpose, so they know what's going on. | 05:02 |
| h00k | Takyoji: I may have responded, but I'm from WI. Don't kill me. | 05:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Also, I'd suggest calling it a "survey" instead of a "poll". | 05:02 |
| Takyoji | after I already sent it across the mailing lists with that title. :P | 05:05 |
| Takyoji | Quite nifty of Google Doc's realtime nature. | 05:09 |
| Takyoji | One of them in favor of of Unity and GNOME 3, another with hatred of GNOME 3 and Unity | 05:13 |
| Takyoji | Heh, a likeminded person | 05:16 |
| Takyoji | Unity is horrendous on a multi-monitor setup; really annoys me that it still hasn't been addressed | 05:16 |
| Takyoji | I have 2 monitors | 05:17 |
| rlaager | That's how all this new stuff is. It works on some developer's machine and they push it out. | 05:17 |
| rlaager | Meanwhile, those of us that actually want to do things with our computers have to endure init scripts that blow up (upstart), machines that don't boot or show no/broken status (plymouth), etc. | 05:17 |
| Takyoji | really disappointing to see all those great GNOME 3 panel applet go to waste | 05:18 |
| Takyoji | You should see how spiffy I have my setup, I actually have it where there's a panel on the right (like 100 pixels wide or so) on a widescreen display, and use that panel to display rows of realtime graphs of CPU usage, RAM, network usage, SWAP, and so on | 05:18 |
| Takyoji | and by concept of Unity (and perhaps GNOME 3), there is no way possible to do that. | 05:19 |
| Takyoji | I was also at some point going to write a panel applet that would also show realtime stats of my web servers as well, for the sheer curiosity and sake of monitoring | 05:19 |
| Takyoji | but again, those possibilities are thrown out the window | 05:20 |
| Takyoji | and currently Linux Mint is the top suggested OS for others (as I would also do myself) | 05:22 |
| FloatingGoat | i still use 11.04 | 07:16 |
