[15:10] <average_guy> Hello, TN team. I've  been off in vsphere/win world for a while now. Had to spin up the official 14.04 though.
[15:13] <wrst> howdy average_guy
[15:14] <average_guy> Hi wrst. Life been good?
[15:15] <average_guy> anybody still using ubuntu?
[15:16] <wrst> average_guy: I'm using debian on a vps... don't guess that counts
[15:16] <average_guy> hehe, not really
[15:17] <wrst> arch on the desktop I know that doesn't count :)
[15:17] <wrst> I do have 14.04 installed, its really a good release, very good release actually
[15:18] <average_guy> I agree so far, it's come a long way. They have trimmed a lot of fat
[15:21] <wrst> yes
[15:21] <average_guy> they tout it as the obvious replacement for winXP but I don't think unity will run on any of the graphics hardware from that generation of computers
[15:21] <average_guy> for modern hardware, I looks pretty slick though
[15:22] <average_guy> it
[15:22] <wrst> yes it really does, and they are trimming the "spyware" out too which is good for them
[15:23] <average_guy> yes, all the built in crap is what drove me and everyone else away
[15:23] <wrst> well I think more advanced users aren't especially their target either
[15:24] <elacheche> Hey guys :) "<average_guy> anybody still using ubuntu?" → I do :)
[15:24] <average_guy> hello elacheche
[15:24] <wrst> elacheche: :)
[15:24] <wrst> hello!
[15:24] <elacheche> how are you wrst :)
[15:24] <wrst> good elacheche, how about yourself?
[15:25] <elacheche> I'm ok.. Just trying to be happy and cool x)
[15:25] <elacheche> average_guy, for old pcs there is Lubuntu, Xubuntu or puppy :)
[15:26] <wrst> elacheche: I don't know if Xubuntu really qualifies for lower specs, it seems a lot heavier to me than say a more bare bones distro with xfce
[15:26] <wrst> and I'm basing that off of a 2 year old experience so may be very wrong
[15:27] <average_guy> I am really phasing out all of my old hardware anyway
[15:28] <average_guy> even broke ppl get new stuff from time to time :P
[15:28] <wrst> ha ha :)
[15:28] <wrst> I have been looking at laptops here lately...
[15:30] <average_guy> really? I think laptops are going away
[15:32] <wrst> saying I should buy a desktop? :)
[15:32] <average_guy> http://shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Tablets/Slate/E2P19AA?HP-Slate-21-k100-All-in-One
[15:33] <wrst> not very portable :)
[15:33] <average_guy> oh, I c
[15:33] <average_guy> kinda though, as much as a laptop
[15:34] <wrst> I'm a year or so away
[15:34] <wrst> I'm thinking something from system 76 or might even go to the dark side with a macbook
[15:34] <wrst> i'm going to get something quality when I get
[15:34] <average_guy> I have nothing like that, but it's what I am currently drooling over
[15:34] <wrst> https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/galu1
[15:35] <wrst> I have always had 15'' laptops but really like the wife's 13.3 macbook
[15:35] <wrst> especially with a much better resolution
[15:36] <average_guy> I have never even seen a mac up close
[15:36] <wrst> that's my only thing with system76 highest resolution is 1080P, I'm thinking by the time I get ready to buy a 2K display should be the norm for them
[15:36] <wrst> I mean my phone is 1080P
[15:36] <wrst> actually my tv is only 720...
[15:36] <wrst> priorities in order? :)
[15:36] <average_guy> lol
[15:38] <average_guy> I just have never had any luck running games in linux so on a linuxbox it is not a priority for me
[15:39] <wrst> average_guy: steam?
[15:40] <average_guy> oh, I play games in steam
[15:40] <average_guy> it works
[15:40] <average_guy> but it works WAY better in windows
[15:40] <wrst> they seem to be making a pretty good push for linux too
[15:40] <wrst> I can't keep windows working long enough for things to work :)
[15:42] <average_guy> I run servers (that I get free) w/graphics n sound added as my desktop.  I play with linux because I'm a nerd, but windows has gotten a lot better also
[15:43] <wrst> I use win 7 at work and its ok if you like that sort of thing ;)
[15:44] <average_guy> That what I play games in.  Well 2008r2 cuz I need dual processor support
[15:45] <wrst> I get the games part. just don't have time for that
