| wrst | RagnarokAngel: i have done that but not at present | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | having issues? | 00:05 |
| RagnarokAngel | wrst: yeah. It's crashy. | 00:05 |
| RagnarokAngel | and my laptop likes to hang somewhere on resuming from suspend. | 00:06 |
| RagnarokAngel | or sleep | 00:06 |
| wrst | ubuntu's implementation of gnome 3 is awful | 00:06 |
| wrst | you might trie that gnomebuntu | 00:06 |
| RagnarokAngel | honestly I just want to give up running ubuntu | 00:07 |
| RagnarokAngel | I feel like I say that every time I get in this channel. | 00:59 |
| Unit193 | RagnarokAngel: Could use gnomebuntu as wrst said, or try one of the others, or just go with mini.iso and install openbox. | 01:22 |
| Unit193 | Or, another distro that works for you better. | 01:22 |
| wrst | RagnarokAngel: if you want a good gnome-shell experience, Arch is good, but not easy, or easier would be to use debian testing/unstable | 01:23 |
| wrst | debian testing is a little old but would give you a good vanilla gnome-shell that actually worked | 01:23 |
| Unit193 | (Just don't use mint! :P ) | 01:23 |
| * wrst despises the word mint unless it refers to candy or cookies or maybe chocolate of some type | 01:24 | |
| RagnarokAngel | I had a friend keep trying to push mint. | 01:24 |
| Unit193 | wrst: I have a half eaten peppermint candy cane in my pocket! (Only been there for a couple weeks) | 01:24 |
| RagnarokAngel | I was unimpressed by his linux-fu | 01:24 |
| wrst | yeah i would go for that Unit193 ;) | 01:24 |
| Unit193 | RagnarokAngel: Mint is to Ubuntu users as Ubuntu is to Arch users. :) | 01:25 |
| wrst | RagnarokAngel: if you don't care to go hardcare gnome-shell on arch is as good as gnome shell gets, but to be honest since the seem fit to break extensions with every release i have went away from it | 01:25 |
| Unit193 | wrst: I have a blueberry one too. :) | 01:25 |
| wrst | Unit193: amen | 01:25 |
| wrst | Unit193: since i have ubuntu on my main drive now i feel a little bit dummer than usual so I installed arch on my spinner just so I didn't lose credibility | 01:26 |
| RagnarokAngel | I just don't really have a weekend to go through an arch install | 01:26 |
| wrst | RagnarokAngel: takes me about 30 minutes to get to the point that I'm installing xorg and a desktop, granted I've done it a couple of times, but since they have done away with the installer and you chroot to install its actually quicker | 01:27 |
| wrst | i just partition with some other distro's live disk or gparted live or whatever works and go to it | 01:28 |
| RagnarokAngel | wrst: hmmm | 01:28 |
| Unit193 | wrst: All depends on how you use it. :P | 01:28 |
| wrst | but I've done it a couple of times RagnarokAngel will take considerably longer | 01:28 |
| wrst | Unit193: how you use what? | 01:28 |
| Unit193 | Linux/Ubuntu | 01:28 |
| wrst | and Unit193 after I get a desktop I never stop tweaking | 01:28 |
| RagnarokAngel | alright before I get into something crazy here | 01:29 |
| wrst | Unit193: yeah i mean its all linux and truth be told with arch i get it up to the point of being ubuntu like | 01:29 |
| RagnarokAngel | I have a problem that should be solvable with chron | 01:29 |
| wrst | so really easier to uninstall stuff from ubuntu than build an arch system, but I must say i like systemd and the lightning boot times and shutdown times | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | wrst: I would do much better with a binary distro, but I still compile/recompile/package stuff on this one, and terminal is my UI. ;) | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | Could just build up from a mini.iso, that way you don't have to remove. | 01:30 |
| wrst | Unit193: yeah you are crazy why don't you just use gentoo! | 01:30 |
| wrst | what is your issue RagnarokAngel? | 01:30 |
| RagnarokAngel | I lost a file I was editing in gedit (good game something I wanted to get published) and thought I wanted to make everything that's open every 15 minutes get backed up as new text files. | 01:30 |
| wrst | that sounds like a Unit193 question :) | 01:31 |
| * wrst has no idea | 01:31 | |
| RagnarokAngel | I really want to have it save as new files so I have lots of drafts | 01:31 |
| RagnarokAngel | makes it easier for me to go back in time when revising. | 01:31 |
| RagnarokAngel | would this be possible/better with a different text editor (no vi because F that) | 01:32 |
