| omnipotentfaggot | hello folks! does anyone know anything about Canonical's new CEO, Jane Silber? | 07:56 |
|---|---|---|
| omnipotentfaggot | (Mark Shuttleworth's successor) | 07:56 |
| AlanBell | omnipotentfaggot: that isn't very new news | 07:59 |
| travelhard | hi to all | 08:03 |
| omnipotentfaggot | when is ubuntu going to overtake windows? | 08:52 |
| AlanBell | already has | 08:52 |
| AlanBell | it is much better | 08:53 |
| omnipotentfaggot | I mean in popularity | 08:53 |
| k1l | AlanBell++ :) | 08:54 |
| AlanBell | hard to say really, they don't seem to be targetting the desktop at work very much | 08:55 |
| AlanBell | it is becoming a home user operating system really | 08:55 |
| AlanBell | Mac is the main competition, Windows is just inertia in the workplace | 08:56 |
| omnipotentfaggot | if any hardware manufacturing company would actually sell ubuntu computers that'd be a start. Dell did at one point, under the table | 08:57 |
| omnipotentfaggot | windows is trying to squeeze out the competition. e.g. with secured boot so you can't install any other operating system but the factory-installed one (Windows) without modifying the hardware | 08:57 |
| k1l | the problem is the microsofts market power. if you take a look at the netbook history you know what i mean | 08:58 |
| k1l | and with the secureboot thing on arm they demand back the arm market, which they obviously lost | 08:59 |
| AlanBell | Dell is going to sell an ultrabook again | 08:59 |
| omnipotentfaggot | 'arm'? | 08:59 |
| k1l | omnipotentfaggot: the other cpu architecture than x86. its build in in smartphones and tablets etc | 09:00 |
| omnipotentfaggot | 32-bit, 64-bit... | 09:00 |
| * popey hugs his arm laptop | 09:02 | |
| popey | and tablet | 09:02 |
| popey | \o/ ubuntu | 09:02 |
| k1l | i have a ubuntu port on my hp touchpad. but its really alpha state | 09:02 |
| omnipotentfaggot | http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/dell | 09:03 |
| AlanBell | popey: the Asus transformer infinity should be out next week here | 09:03 |
| AlanBell | would love one of those running Ubuntu | 09:03 |
| popey | is it tegra3? | 09:04 |
| omnipotentfaggot | k1l it's a tablet? | 09:04 |
| AlanBell | yes | 09:04 |
| k1l | omnipotentfaggot: yes? | 09:04 |
| omnipotentfaggot | cool. is it useable? | 09:04 |
| popey | my SmartQ T20 has Ubuntu on it | 09:04 |
| AlanBell | there were two processor options, but I think the quad core tegra 3 is the one we get | 09:04 |
| popey | Ubuntu doesn't work very well on tablets right now | 09:05 |
| k1l | omnipotentfaggot: early alpha state. thats enough to say i think :) | 09:05 |
| popey | AlanBell, what was the other option? please say OMAP4? | 09:05 |
| omnipotentfaggot | the ubuntu.com page about dell is kind of funny. "Dell and Canonical engineers collaborate every day to certify Dell hardware on Ubuntu, to a level that customers can rely on." i have a new dell laptop and I had to manually edit some code to get headphones to work when i installed ubuntu | 09:07 |
| k1l | i got an old dell and it runs ootb :) | 09:08 |
| elky | my 2009-ish dell is ootb too | 09:09 |
| AlanBell | Qualcomm® MSM 8260A Snapdragon™ S4 Krait Dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU(3G ) | 09:09 |
| AlanBell | NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 Quad-core T33@ 1.6GHz (WIFI) | 09:09 |
| AlanBell | are the two processor options popey, but I only see tegra3 mentioned in recent articles | 09:10 |
| AlanBell | probably because we don't get the funky 4G mobile signal in the UK | 09:10 |
| popey | omnipotentfaggot, most new dells should 'just work', pretty much every dell model is certified to run ubuntu | 09:13 |
| omnipotentfaggot | now is a quad-core processor in a tablet actually equivalent to a laptop's quad-core? | 09:13 |
| omnipotentfaggot | popey - including Studio 17 | 09:13 |
| omnipotentfaggot | ? | 09:14 |
| popey | i dont know that particular model, but we work with them to certify them all | 09:14 |
| AlanBell | it is just quad core, most quad core laptops are quad core hyperthreaded, so appear as 8 distinct processing units | 09:14 |
| omnipotentfaggot | I love ubuntu, but I have to say "just works" has been just the opposite of my experience :) | 09:15 |
| omnipotentfaggot | just as well tho | 09:15 |
| popey | yeah, everyone has those experiences now and then | 09:16 |
| * popey stabs the wifi in his imac | 09:16 | |
| omnipotentfaggot | learning to pop the hood to fix a problem teaches you how to pop the hood for creative purposes | 09:16 |
| omnipotentfaggot | one thing that is absolutely fantastic is the level of documentation for every single error I have encountered on ubuntu. you can google your way out of any problem. you don't even need to come on IRC and ask for help | 09:25 |
