| mhall119 | thanks holstein | 15:39 |
| holstein | i think mint has been "ahead" there at distrowatch for a while | 15:39 |
| holstein | i was thinking it was folks checking in to see if 'lisa' had dropped | 15:40 |
| orauyz | hi | 18:30 |

| orauyz | holstein ? | 20:15 |
| billf | I've switched to kde to see what that is like - purely because I got fed up with Unity after several months of using it | 21:18 |
| billf | the #trilug channel is talking about the breakdown of community engagement | 21:20 |
| billf | http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/A-Disturbing-Dialog-About-Ubuntu-and-Unity | 21:20 |
| billf | has ubuntu just alienated a large portion of their user base ? and what will it take to regain their trust ? | 21:36 |
| Nivex | I switched to XFCE because I didn't like Unity. | 21:37 |
| akgraner | I must be weird then I like Unity | 21:40 |
| akgraner | I didn't at first though, but now I do | 21:40 |
| billf | I tried to like Unity for several months, but I kept getting fustrated with it | 21:41 |
| akgraner | nods, I understand I know a lot of people who feel that same way | 21:42 |
| billf | I wish the installer had given people the choice of installing the classic desktop as well as unity | 21:42 |
| Nivex | even with the gnome-session-fallback, it ate all my settings going from 11.04 to 11.10. Started with a fresh panel and background. I was not a happy camper. | 21:43 |
| akgraner | ouch | 21:44 |
| billf | I can't really tell my neighbour to download ubuntu and install it, then run the package manager and search for classic and install that, then reconfigure lightdm to use classic by default. | 21:45 |
| billf | Nivex: I gave up after the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and did a complete wipe and install of 11.10 to fix all that. | 21:45 |
| Nivex | I gave up and migrated to Xubuntu :) | 21:46 |
| billf | well, I'm trying kde, and maybe xubuntu will be the next stop | 21:46 |
| Nivex | I'm glad there was an easy path to do that and not have to punt to a different distro for the moment. | 21:47 |
| akgraner | I tried Lubuntu just for the fun of it and I like it as well | 21:47 |
| billf | akgraner: I will have to try that too - thanks ! | 21:47 |
| akgraner | yw :-) | 21:48 |
| Nivex | I've run LXDE in a couple of test environments, but never for very long. It looks like it's got a lot of promise though. I know they are trying to get Lubuntu made an official spin. | 21:48 |
| akgraner | I haven't been around much but I am hoping after Christmas we can do some LoCo stuff and kick start some activities, and find some new members | 21:48 |
| akgraner | I'm going to start an Ubuntu Hour here in good ole Rutherfordton | 21:49 |
| BugeyeD | i'm sticking with xmonad for now. i can do that with any unix-ish os, so i'm not bothered much by the unity flap. | 23:50 |
