| fastforward | So is anyone here still actually using Ubuntu?I remember asking a while back and it sounded like some had moved on to other distros but were here for the conversation and questions. | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | fastforward: I have a vps using ubuntu | 00:50 |
| wrst | And a laptop that has a partition on it | 00:50 |
| wrst | But yeah arch is what I use for desktop | 00:50 |
| fastforward | Why Arch? I set it up once, but it seemed like more complication than it was worth to me. | 00:52 |
| Unit193 | I"m using Xubuntu... | 00:57 |
| wrst | Isn't the question why would you not run arch? | 01:05 |
| Omnifrog | what is so special about arch? | 03:23 |
| Omnifrog | I've never tried it | 03:23 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: fresh packages, you get to set it up pretty much how you want | 10:19 |
| fastforward | Morning, Folks. | 12:54 |
| wrst | morning fastforward | 13:04 |
| wrst | as to arch, it is rolling, a true rolling release so get fresh, stable packages | 13:04 |
| wrst | it isn't tied to anything really, so I can get vanilla gnome, kde, xfce, in the AUR (arch user repository) I can get about any package that I want | 13:04 |
| wrst | for me that makes a great desktop OS | 13:05 |
| fastforward | Ah yes, I bailed yesterday after asking that question. My apologies. That's understandable. Since I've discovered MATE, I'm back on Ubuntu from Mint. I like tinkering, but not that much and Arch was a bit more complicated than I wanted. One day, I might spend a weekend and dive into it. | 13:16 |
| wrst | it is certainly not for everyone | 13:51 |
| wrst | I do prefer it because I'm a micromanaging control freak :) | 13:51 |
| fastforward | lol | 13:55 |
| fastforward | I try to find a balance between control and working. Arch was too much for me at this point. :D | 13:56 |
| fastforward | Maybe a little farther down the road. | 13:56 |
| wrst | it is really whatever works, if I had to do it now I don't know if I would use arch | 14:00 |
