| vychune | im rolling out guys, not on my pc lol | 00:21 |
| vychune | o/ | 00:21 |
| wrst | chris4585: ordered and received a printer for my messed up one... a samsung and i must say linux support is good, not open i don't think on the driver but its a good driver | 00:39 |
| chris4585 | ah, at least it works and that is awesome | 00:53 |
| chris4585 | I've not really heard of any issues ever with any samsung devices | 00:53 |
| chris4585 | so I guess they do good support? | 00:54 |
| wrst | I don't know but their software works well on this WiFi printer and I can print from my phone which is cool | 02:00 |
| chris4585 | that is cool | 02:13 |
| wrst | yes had a dandy little android app | 02:15 |
| wrst | and iOS if you are into that type of thing | 02:16 |
| wrst | but I'm turning into a Samsung fan love my S III phone | 02:17 |
| chris4585 | yeah I like samsung, but for other computer stuff I really like asus | 02:17 |
| chris4585 | they are quality and usually offer awesome features with their products | 02:18 |
| wrst | yep I have an Asus laptop | 02:25 |
| chris4585 | nice | 02:33 |
| wrst | its a low end one also | 02:34 |
| wrst | but still good stuff or I think | 02:34 |
| chris4585 | yeah | 02:35 |
| wrst | I hope I can buy a system76 next time | 02:37 |
| wrst | don't want to have to mess with secure about or any of that jazz | 02:37 |
| chris4585 | that would be nice, their laptops are pretty nice | 02:37 |
| wrst | yep i'm not for sure if arch has a solution for secure boot or not | 02:38 |
| chris4585 | for UEFI? | 02:39 |
| chris4585 | my asus board has UEFI (this computer), and arch has no issues, but I don't know about secure boot | 02:39 |
| wrst | yeah don't know how a windows 8 machine would work with it or if that is as big of an issue | 02:40 |
| chris4585 | if it helps, this machine is win8 ready | 02:46 |
| chris4585 | I bought this mobo specifically because of that | 02:46 |
| chris4585 | it has a few win8 features which are neat, for instance, if win8 is installed it will boot fast, so there is a button on the board to boot directly to UEFI | 02:47 |
| chris4585 | or | 02:47 |
| chris4585 | I can plug the reset switch into a different header, so when the reset button is pressed it will boot directly into UEFI | 02:48 |
| wrst | hmm coo | 02:48 |
| wrst | l | 02:48 |
| wrst | *cool :) | 02:48 |
| wrst | i am not that well versed i'm still in a bios world :) | 02:48 |
| chris4585 | it works too which is nice, but this board's UEFI doesn't boot insanely fast like I'd hoped :/ | 02:49 |
| chris4585 | I watch too many videos | 02:49 |
| wrst | but you know your stuff | 02:49 |
| * chris4585 nods | 02:49 | |
| chris4585 | dude if I just want to learn something I head over to youtube lol | 02:50 |
| wrst | very true just haven't needed to learn about that one yet :) | 02:50 |
| chris4585 | well when looking for a new motherboard a particular video won me over | 02:50 |
| wrst | its been a long time since i have built a machine | 02:52 |
| chris4585 | that would be my dream job | 02:53 |
| wrst | doing that all the time? yeah would be fun | 02:54 |
| chris4585 | yeah :) | 02:55 |
| wrst | chris4585: i have to give kde a big edge over gnome for theming | 03:03 |
| chris4585 | wrst, definitely, KDE has earned that achievement | 03:04 |
| chris4585 | it is definitely good at that | 03:04 |
| chris4585 | wrst, http://chris4585.tumblr.com/post/36257317324/okay-ive-felt-like-i-have-been-doing-the-same | 03:04 |
| wrst | sweet | 03:06 |
| chris4585 | thanks, I setup funtoo for a friend, he is making a funtoo based distro (I believe? lol) and needs a bunch of binaries and they have to be compiled... | 03:07 |
| chris4585 | so I'm helping him out | 03:07 |
| chris4585 | funtoo is actually not that bad, just everything is compiled, and emerge for a package manager isn't that bad either | 03:07 |
| wrst | emerge? gentoo? | 03:08 |
| chris4585 | yes | 03:09 |
| chris4585 | gentoo based | 03:09 |
| chris4585 | http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Welcome | 03:09 |
| chris4585 | it feels very similar to what arch does | 03:10 |
| wrst | here is my beginning of a dark theme attempt: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2959906/kde7.png | 03:10 |
| wrst | i have been tempted to try gentoo in a VM just haven't had a month to work on it and let it compile stuff :) | 03:10 |
| chris4585 | that looks nice wrst | 03:10 |
| chris4585 | wrst, it actually didn't take me that long to install funtoo, maybe 2hrs | 03:11 |
| wrst | wallpaper needs work and that blue glow gets on my nerves | 03:11 |
| chris4585 | the blue glow can be turned off in effects I believe | 03:11 |
| chris4585 | the option is somewhere... just gotta hunt it down lol | 03:11 |
| wrst | yes and you cna make it a dark "glow" like it should be | 03:12 |
| chris4585 | the wiki for installing funto was way shorter than arch, and for a funtoo install any modern livecd will do | 03:12 |
| chris4585 | funtoo* | 03:12 |
| wrst | hmm | 03:12 |
| chris4585 | http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_Linux_Installation | 03:12 |
| chris4585 | I used archbang ironically to install funtoo | 03:12 |
| chris4585 | lol | 03:12 |
| wrst | pretty cool | 03:14 |
| chris4585 | yeah | 03:14 |
| wrst | i'm just pretty happy with arch, its automated enough but also gives me plenty of control | 03:14 |
| chris4585 | agreed, arch is great of course but funtoo is well pretty much the same just all source | 03:15 |
| chris4585 | only real difference I saw | 03:15 |
| wrst | its all good | 03:16 |
| chris4585 | wrst, mind if I share your screenshot with thousands of people? | 03:17 |
| chris4585 | lol | 03:17 |
| wrst | sure | 03:17 |
| wrst | go for it :) | 03:17 |
| chris4585 | maybe not that many | 03:17 |
| chris4585 | lol | 03:17 |
| wrst | i doubt thousands would be interested :) | 03:18 |
