| Roguehorse | switched 'back' from Debian 7 to Kubuntu 14.04........I'm happier | 15:43 |
|---|---|---|
| ianorlin | I haven't used kde much it has too many desktop effects on out of the box for me | 15:43 |
| nhaines | I'm much happier with Unity. | 15:45 |
| Roguehorse | I like Unity and have a desire to use it but the experience I got from trying to use it via VM turned me off to full deployment.......I try to cut back on a lot of the KDE eye candy stuff | 16:19 |
| akk | Early versions of unity managed to have eye candy graphics card requirements without the actual eye candy. May be different now. | 16:20 |
| nhaines | Unity works fine in a VM with the virtual extensions. But it does require 3D acceleration. | 16:23 |
| ianorlin | I only use kvm for vms and found unity ok in a vm but that is probably because this desktop is beefy | 16:30 |
| ianorlin | even though it is not full 3d accelartion but a new desktop i5 will run it well enough but most people don't have something that good | 16:31 |
| Roguehorse | I have an older i5 (Lynnfield architecture) but I'm thinking my problem may have been neuvau related | 17:53 |
| akk | I always had trouble getting it to work under virtualbox, but that might have been the 127 different packages virtualbox is split into, I might have been missing the crucial one. | 17:54 |
| ianorlin | ah yeah although running vms without hardware virtualization is like night and day difference to having it | 17:54 |
| ianorlin | lxde doesn't really care about gpu accelaration | 17:55 |
| akk | Right, that's one reason I prefer openbox. | 17:55 |
| akk | Nice to have it when I run google earth or tuxracer, but that's a small part of my computing. | 17:56 |
