[11:54] <popey> i nearly bought a sherbert dib dab yesterday in Ye Olde Sweete Shoppe in Farnborough.

[12:47] <DJones> Should get some of finnish licorish for my father in law, if he was a horse, he'd put salt on a salt lick block
[16:20] <moreati> Any bored Chromium users care to take part in an experiment? Should take less than 10 minutes
[16:29] <samfreenode> hi
[16:30] <samfreenode> What's a good DE like Gnome or KDE but without a compositor?
[16:30] <samfreenode> I don't want compositor
[16:31] <penguin42> samfreenode: You can turn the compositor off on KDE
[16:31] <samfreenode> penguin42, What if I just disable vsync on compiz, will that do the job?
[16:32] <samfreenode> penguin42, sorry, accidentally closed my client
[16:32] <penguin42> samfreenode: no the vsync is separate
[16:33] <samfreenode> penguin42, Seperate from what?
[16:33] <penguin42> samfreenode: actually, I can't find the compositor disable in KDE5.x
[16:33] <samfreenode> How do I make my monitor 144hz?
[16:39] <samfreenode>  How do I set my monitor to 144hz refresh rate?
[16:51] <samfreenode> penguin42, Would my mouse input be better for CS:GO if I disable Compiz?
[16:51] <directhex> what refresh rate is set in your WM's display properties?
[16:51] <directhex> DE even
[16:52]  * penguin42 doesn't have one set I don't think - I use xfce on most boxes now - still have this one on KDE though
[16:52] <directhex> "xrandr | grep \*"
[16:52] <penguin42> samfreenode: Oh, I found the compositor setting on KDE5 - under display-compositor - you can turn it off
[16:52] <samfreenode> penguin42, Oh cool
[16:53] <samfreenode> penguin42, Gonna install KDE and try that
[16:53] <penguin42> samfreenode: But if you want fast and responsive just install xfce
[16:53] <samfreenode> penguin42, Should I install Kubuntu-desktop or just KDE?
[16:53] <directhex> yeah, this is why i don't bother attempting to help some folk. it's just a waste of time
[16:54] <samfreenode> directhex, Thanks, I fixed it in xrandr
[16:54] <samfreenode> directhex, xrandr --output DP-4 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 144
[16:59] <aquarius> who knows about boot issues, such as https://askubuntu.com/questions/684171/error-when-starting-install ?
[17:02] <samfreenode> penguin42, Where is the compositor setting again?
[17:02] <samfreenode> penguin42, What's the KDE settings app called?
[17:02] <samfreenode> penguin42, nvm I find it
[17:03] <samfreenode> penguin42, Hmmmm looks like I can suspend it for full-screen windows
[17:20] <samfreenode> penguin42, It seems KDE has a lot more options for configuration>?
[17:20] <samfreenode> penguin42, I can easily configure the refresh rate and disable the compositor and stuff without reverting to the command line like in Ubuntu Unity
[17:20] <samfreenode> penguin42, So I think maybe I'll just stick with  Kubuntu, since it's so much easier than Ubuntu
[17:26] <samfreenode> penguin42: I think I'm getting close to switching from W10 to Linux
[17:27] <samfreenode> penguin42: I need to figure out how to get proper headphones support in CS:GO still though
[17:27] <samfreenode> penguin42: I try selecting headphones, and it just defaults to 2 speakers
[17:30] <directhex> samfreenode: you can set the refresh rate fine in unity. it's in the "Screen Display" app
[17:31] <samfreenode> directhex: Couldn't find the option
[17:31] <samfreenode> directhex: I looked
[17:31] <directhex> aquarius: maybe a broken EFI implementation? they could try forcing legacy mode
[17:32] <directhex> samfreenode: huh. did it move? it *used* to be there
[17:32] <aquarius> directhex, sounds plausible to me, but I don't know anything about this stuff; I was hoping to point someone in the direction of that post who knows what they're doing to help ana out
[17:33] <samfreenode> directhex: IDK
[17:33] <samfreenode> directhex: I use Kubuntu now anyway
[17:35] <directhex> aquarius: that would be my instinct - buggy firmwares aren't exactly new
[17:44] <aquarius> directhex, ah, looks like Ana tried disabling UEFI and it hasn't helped. How annoying that this stuff is still a problem
[17:44] <directhex> :/
[17:44] <directhex> computers!
[17:45] <SuperEngineer> samfreenode, so why aren't you on #kubuntu?
[18:04] <samfreenode> SuperEngineer: Because I only just installed KDE, I was using Ubuntu before that
[20:32] <popey> samfreenode: you can also switch off compositing in Ubuntu MATE.
[20:32] <popey> fwiw
[20:52] <samfreenode> popey: Sure, I might try MATE
