svij | hi Kilos | 06:45 |
dholbach | hi Kilos | 06:45 |
popey | \o/ new laptop day \o/ new laptop day \o/ squeeeee new laptop! | 09:34 |
* popey downloads an iso | 09:34 | |
dholbach | nice, which laptop? | 09:36 |
tsimonq2 | *rubs eyes* wow I went to bed at 5:30 PM...morning all! :D | 09:38 |
tsimonq2 | popey: what kind? maker? model? | 09:39 |
popey | Lenovo T450 | 09:39 |
* tsimonq2 guesses Thinkpad from the Q&As he has been watching | 09:39 | |
tsimonq2 | AHA! | 09:39 |
popey | 😃 | 09:39 |
popey | Decided to get a 2nd hand one with 2 years warrnty left on it. Much better value than a new one. | 09:39 |
tsimonq2 | awesome! :D | 09:40 |
tsimonq2 | popey: this? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t450/ | 09:41 |
tsimonq2 | if so, the specs aren't bad ;) | 09:41 |
popey | yeah, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD | 09:41 |
tsimonq2 | niiice | 09:41 |
tsimonq2 | I've never actually used a computer with an SSD... | 09:42 |
* tsimonq2 looks at prices | 09:42 | |
popey | it's hard, once you do, it's hard to go back to spinning rust | 09:42 |
dholbach | very nice | 09:42 |
tsimonq2 | $ | 09:42 |
tsimonq2 | whoops *^ | 09:42 |
tsimonq2 | but same concept ;) | 09:43 |
tsimonq2 | (an SSD is a lot of money for my budget) | 09:43 |
tsimonq2 | but I don't have consistent money flowing in, no job or anything, so consider yourself lucky ;D | 09:43 |
popey | yeah, depends on capacity and manufacturer, but they are certainly more expensive than spinning rust | 09:43 |
popey | yeah, totally | 09:43 |
tsimonq2 | yeah I see 50-150ish for a lower ended one (in terms of storage) so that's probably easy to get, but I just spent all my money on a Pi 3 kit, which I have to send back because it was DOA... :/ | 09:45 |
popey | aww :( | 09:45 |
tsimonq2 | yeah I just hope I'm not too late to send it back on the 30 day warranty | 09:46 |
tsimonq2 | but hey, it's just $35, and I can find that lying on the ground XD | 09:46 |
popey | haha | 09:47 |
tsimonq2 | I could probably even mine bitcoin for that if I used all of my computer's resources for a couple days | 09:48 |
tsimonq2 | but then there's taxes I hear and I just don't think it would be worth it... | 09:49 |
tsimonq2 | whatever I'll just send it back :) | 09:49 |
tsimonq2 | popey: so what do you think of your laptop so far? have you opened it yet? :D | 09:50 |
tsimonq2 | and if it runs Windows 10, try out Bash before you switch to Linux :P | 09:50 |
popey | haha | 09:51 |
tsimonq2 | or if you are on 8.1 you might be able to upgrade for free for like a year like they trick you into doing, then you just use Bash for a day, then you have more stuff to talk about when people ask on the Q&A if you have tried Bash on Windows | 09:51 |
tsimonq2 | because you *know* it's coming ;) | 09:52 |
popey | I have no need for Bash on Windows | 09:52 |
popey | I'm not the target user. | 09:52 |
tsimonq2 | not even to try it? aren't you curious about how it runs? :P | 09:52 |
tsimonq2 | do whatever, just remember that you had the chance and I told you so ;D (if it runs Win 8.1/10) | 09:55 |
tsimonq2 | anyways | 09:55 |
tsimonq2 | what *do* you plan on running on it? | 09:56 |
popey | tsimonq2: windows 10 already nuked and running ubuntu 16.04 :) | 10:46 |
tsimonq2 | heheheheh :) | 10:46 |
tsimonq2 | stock Ubuntu? | 10:46 |
popey | yup | 10:46 |
tsimonq2 | does it work better on an SSD? :P | 10:47 |
popey | faster, sure | 10:47 |
popey | dholbach: new telegram uploaded to the store if you have some time to review pls. | 10:47 |
popey | dholbach: https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/1501/rev/16/ | 10:48 |
tsimonq2 | popey: I installed it yesterday in KVM just for the lols and it was really slow, maybe I need to use SPICE graphics... | 10:48 |
tsimonq2 | because i think it was graphics-related, so later I'll try gain | 10:49 |
popey | Stock Ubuntu + Unity needs OpenGL enabled hardware to work best | 10:49 |
tsimonq2 | *again | 10:49 |
tsimonq2 | s/ i / I / :P | 10:49 |
tsimonq2 | yeah well I run LXQt, and it works a lot better on my machine with 16 GB of RAM | 10:50 |
tsimonq2 | but again I have a 1 TB HDD | 10:50 |
tsimonq2 | maybe that's the bottleneck... | 10:50 |
popey | Never tried LXQt, but I hear it's very lightweight. | 11:05 |
dholbach | popey, checking | 11:13 |
popey | thanks | 11:13 |
tsimonq2 | popey: yeah we're hoping for it to relace LXDE in Lubuntu 16.10 or 17.04 (from what I've heard it will be tested and released as a seperate image for 16.10 then as the primary for 17.04) but besides some very trivial quirks they haven't quite gotten to yet, it's a solid desktop | 11:15 |
tsimonq2 | but it's very usable | 11:18 |
popey | Awesome. | 11:20 |
dholbach | marcoceppi, can we redeploy the ubucon website? :) | 12:59 |
dholbach | AFAIK you were still making some changes to the juju/layers bits? | 12:59 |
svij | I would appreciate that :) | 13:28 |
dholbach | brb, testing new mir | 13:42 |
dholbach | all right... I'm going to lie down for a bit and might be hacking on the developer site a bit later on - if I don't see you around... have a great weekend! | 14:23 |
