I worry about kubuntu... was on 16.04 a few hours ago (or it might have been yesterday :p) - with riddel now focusing on kde neon I wonder if the others will cope [17:57] they where the only flavour not to release a beta with the others the last round [17:58] the best kde 5 experience I have had is with openSUSE tumbleweed... [17:58] oh my [17:59] but they have some muck-up with file associations so gwenview tries to open everything you click :p [17:59] kde is a fine desktop no matter the distro [17:59] kde 5 on 15.10 isn't that hot... the newer releases of KDE 5 seems to be getting better [18:00] so the more bleeding edge the better the experience yes [18:01] was on KDE 3.5 today also... [18:01] wonder is someone will keep KDE 4 alive too... it became so stable [18:02] yes, Kilos will. [18:02] :) [18:03] i love it [18:04] will use it till well into 2016 i think [18:04] well 14.04 is LTS to up to 2019 if you wanted too :) [18:04] yeah but i also get nosy about whats next [18:05] yup [18:05] but ill stay with kde i think [18:06] what i like is the restrictions on LTS have been made less strigent so even LTS releases can get more up to date everything now from 16.04 [18:06] *stringent [18:06] the latest rounds of KDE have become much better [18:09] inetpro, what DE where you using on 12.04 before the upgrade? [18:09] duh [18:09] hes always been a kde guy [18:10] haha [18:10] * inetpro has been a KDE fan since the turn of the century [18:11] kde 4.8 or where their backports available to 4.12.x [18:11] ? [18:11] and got upset with me before i started kde, when i told him its for children [18:12] before KDE I was on CDE on Solaris in the late 90ties [18:12] now im a children as well [18:14] first time for me on KDE was early KDE 4... *shudder* then 4.4 dropped and it was stable, and I think around 4.10 came I believed it to be the best out there [18:16] in between I tried GNOME and other desktops for short periods of time and then Unity but I always go back to KDE [18:17] inetpro why didnt you help me last night with oom jan [18:17] Kilos: with what? [18:17] i have no idea how a system can lose internet mouse and dvd [18:17] didnt you even read [18:17] ai! [18:18] usb ports saw flash drives but not the mouse [18:20] wifi and eth connections didnt work and dvd was missing [18:21] Kilos: I gave up reading everything long ago [18:21] all i could think of was make a live stick and see if they worked then clean install system [18:21] thats no good man [18:22] how must i know when im leading someone along the wrong path [18:22] ai! ek sukkel [18:28] you have many peers here who can help you man, just need to shake them up from time to time else they fall asleep [18:30] sigh [18:30] just tell me who is mr fixit [18:30] shirking your duties is a govt ploy [18:33] dunno if free tech support is exactly a duty :p [18:33] sshhhhhhh [18:34] :) [18:35] hehe [18:38] nlsthzn what ever happened to that loco there [18:41] zero support from the loco council resulted in those that are using the label of "Ubuntu Loco" for there own means and ends to keep it and the guys trying to do it correctly gave up and started other things [18:42] ai! [18:43] you still belong with us so never mind [18:44] i go sleep now [18:44] dont be such a stranger nlsthzn [18:45] look after your familt [18:45] hi superfly [18:45] will do and good night uncle Kilos [18:45] night all sleep tight
