My question for this machine is: should I prefer the 64bit version of Kubuntu 14.04 or take the 32bit one, which is recommended on the website [21:00] 32bit is fine, you won't notice any difference until you upgrade to 4+Gb RAM. [21:01] lordievader: but doesn't 64bit imply that more registers can be used, thus 64bit might be slightly faster? [21:03] penelope3: I'd say yes [21:03] penelope3: It would be slighly faster, yes. But you won't notice the difference. [21:04] 1gb of ram... isn't much.. why not settle for 12.04 maybe? :) [21:05] or even some lighter [21:05] s/some/&thing/ [21:06] bprompt__: I installed Kubuntu 14.04 on my father's PC recently, and he was surprised how fast the system is compared to Windows Vista he had before. And I saw that around 600 MB was used by KDE, him having 2GB of RAM. [21:06] the nice thing was he didn't even feel a big difference between the two, since I always told him to use free software even on Win32 [21:07] difference in usability i mean [21:07] well [21:07] bprompt: maybe xubuntu might be the better choice, but I really like KDE. [21:08] he has 2gb of ram though :) 14.04 has more overhead as I can tell than 12.04, thus a 1gb will fare better with 12.04 than 14.04, but sure, both would run [21:08] penelope3: I run kubuntu, but my window manager is LXDE [21:08] If you don't do a lot of multitasking 1Gb should suffice. [21:09] yeap.... depends on usage [21:09] Well you can allways try. LXDE of XFCE is installed easily enough afterwards. [21:09] I run..... quite a few amount of windows, sometimes the browser with about 20 tabs [21:10] bprompt__: what is the point in using Kubuntu but running another DE? aren't the other distros better suited for LXDE/XFCE/openbox [21:10] often times I should say =) [21:10] penelope3: speed for window management... I do run kde apps, thus [21:11] bprompt__: interesting, always thought that you need the KDE framework (kdelibs and so on) to run Kate and the likes [21:12] You do. [21:12] penelope3: you do, you just don't need the kde Desktop and Window Manager, kwin [21:12] Same for gtk, you need a lot of gtk libs to run them. [21:12] well [21:12] bprompt__: do I need a lot of expert knowledge for that or can I choose to use another DE during Kubuntu installation? [21:12] I run gtk apps too.... they don't require that much space wise really [21:13] penelope3: You can even choose another DE after installation, Linux is flexible. [21:14] penelope3: nope, install kubuntu regular, then install LXWM window manager and if you want, also the LXDE desktop manager.... then you can pick the session to use "lxwm" [21:14] bprompt__: nice, and then you can run Dolphin, Kate, and the other KDE SC applications with lxwm? [21:16] bprompt__: would better fit my system then I guess, because I am afraid, if use firefox with a lot of tabs open, it will swap a lot, since 400 MB of free space for ff is probably not enough [21:17] penelope3: sure, you can pretty much run whatever from whatever window manager, a long while ago I used to run SuSE 10.2 I think it was... and I had gnome and kde both installed, and in the window, you could choose what "desktop manager" to use, and at the login screen, what "window manager" to use.... and I ran gtk and kde apps just find, heck I even ran a few xfce apps too, all the while I was using iceWM window manager o [21:17] s/find/fine/ [21:18] bprompt__: this flexibility really is the nice thing about Linux, the freedom to choose whatever you want [21:19] yeap [21:19] at some point in SuSE I had about 5 window managers installed [21:19] bprompt__: probably I will go best using btrfs with my old disk, making use of defragmentation, so it is not used to heavily, and instead my processor is used more [21:20] s/defragmentation/compression ;) [21:21] hmmm can't say I've experience much slowdown due to swap file access back then [21:21] if any it was the cpu or the gpu [21:23] bprompt__: so with lxde your memory consumption is below 200 MB, I guess (on startup without any programs running) [21:23] penelope3: using an ssd, makes a huge difference, speed wise [21:24] penelope3: very low, yes...I....don't check, at least at startup.... I have 6gbs here ddr3 [21:24] bprompt__: I know, but it is just a playground machine, it was the machine I assembled myself a long time ago, but I don't want to shred it. [21:25] bprompt__: and since the motherbord does not support high speed rates, installing an SSD would probably not make much sense [21:25] it's not really speed rates, it's access time [21:25] penelope3: is it a pata? sata1? [21:26] I assume that's a PATA.... thus there's no ssd for it then =) [21:26] is there a Linux command to check for the SATA standard supported by my mainboard? Running on sysresccd right now. wiping the drive... [21:26] but access time is a huge boost [21:27] opening a package the size of libreoffice, takes me 1sec.... yes, is not a typo, 1 sec [21:29] penelope3: maybe -> sudo lshw -C storage [21:34] looks like SATA I [21:34] so buying a cheap SSD for SATA I would make sense? [21:38] penelope3: sure.... a cheapo 30gbs , yes === emma is now known as emmaHupUSA [22:57] Howdy [22:57] allo [22:57] hola [22:58] * bprompt puts on bbq sauce and bites GermanMeat [22:58] Anyone have luck using multi-touch with touchscreen?
