| aeden__d | anyone tried elementary OS yet? Curious to what the local team thinks | 19:23 |
|---|---|---|
| bwmaker | I didn't care much for it. I'd rather stick with Gnome or Cinnamon. | 19:30 |
| aeden__d | I didn't like it much either. It seems everyone wants to emulate osx | 19:33 |
| bwmaker | Yeah, I'd prefer OSX over Elementary. | 19:36 |
| aeden__d | do you use ubuntu primarily or do you run another os? | 19:38 |
| bwmaker | Depends on what day it is. :) I've used Arch, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu and Fedora for at least several days over the past few years. Currently using Mint 17.2 on my laptop and home desktop. | 19:45 |
| bwmaker | Previously had Ubuntu Mate on my desktop and Ubuntu Gnome on my laptop. | 19:46 |
| bwmaker | I had Fedora 21 on my laptop for a while as it had the right mix of stability, up-to-date kernel and newer packages. It seemed to work best. Mint seems to be a close 2nd to that. | 19:46 |
| aeden__d | that's cool. I used to use ubuntu as my primary os then I stopped once unity came around, or, I never updated. I've got mac but I only use it to host linux distros I want to try out. go figure | 19:54 |
| aeden__d | I really like mint, too. But the more I use Ubuntu 14.04 I'm feeling the loyalty calling me back in. | 19:55 |
| bwmaker | Unity isn't bad. I think they cleaned up a lot of the right stuff. But I feel like Gnome 3 has the elements that I like about OSX and Unity but I'm still able to customize it and navigate quite easily. | 20:02 |
| bwmaker | aeden__d: What are you using now? OSX still? | 20:03 |
| aeden__d | yeah, I bought a mac about a year ago. But I rarely use "it". I use Ubuntu 14.04 in virtual box as my primary | 20:04 |
| bwmaker | Interesting. I did that for a bit. Then work gave me an XPS 13 Sputnik, so I don't bug my wife to use her MacBook anymore. :) | 20:10 |
| aeden__d | Ha! Don't get me wrong, there are things I really appreciate about OSX, but for some reason I can't pull away from Ubuntu. | 20:13 |
| aeden__d | bwmaker, what part of Tn are you from? | 20:17 |
| bwmaker | Nashville | 20:18 |
| aeden__d | I'm down in Tullahoma | 20:20 |
| bwmaker | I haven't been down there in a long time. I grew up in Warren/Grundy Co. | 20:23 |
| bwmaker | I escaped, but I didn't make it far. :) | 20:23 |
| aeden__d | Grundy County?? haha, ok, I'll hold back on any jokes :) | 20:25 |
| aeden__d | I actually work with a few people from Grundy County, one of them is a mechanical engineer from Tn Tech | 20:26 |
| bwmaker | No, fire away! :) I'm "from the valley" so I'm more McMinnville-oriented than anything. Not sure that's much better, though. | 20:27 |
| bwmaker | Interesting. | 20:27 |
| aeden__d | interesting that a mechanical engineer came out of Grundy?? haha | 20:28 |
| bwmaker | Yeah, a little. They're not really known for their promotion of education. There's a few smart ones there, but not a lot. | 20:28 |
| bwmaker | Mostly good, well intentioned people, though. | 20:28 |
| aeden__d | One thing I've learned over the years. just because someone talks slow doesn't mean they think slow | 20:29 |
| bwmaker | It's very true. I've had friends who were really bright and could be really inventive problem solvers. | 20:29 |
| bwmaker | They just didn't like school. | 20:30 |
| bwmaker | Or at least didn't like school the way it was made available to them. | 20:30 |
| aeden__d | That happens a lot. I work in a mechanical/aerospace field and there are a lot of craftsman that are extremely bright, they just dont have a piece of paper saying so | 20:31 |
| bwmaker | Down at AEDC? | 20:32 |
| aeden__d | yeah | 20:32 |
| aeden__d | where do you work at? | 20:33 |
| bwmaker | Southerners get a bad rap sometimes. But AEDC, Huntsville, Oak Ridge... we've got some really smart people in small, Southern towns. I know some came from other areas, but lot's of smart people with a drawl. | 20:34 |
| bwmaker | I work for Emma. http://myemma.com | 20:35 |
| aeden__d | I agree | 20:35 |
| bwmaker | brb | 20:37 |
| bwmaker | I'm back | 21:05 |
| bwmaker | aeden__d: Are you an engineer? | 21:05 |
| cyberanger | More people from ADEC, sweet | 21:30 |
