| polarbear | anyone here? | 11:04 |
| jea | yes | 11:10 |
| jea | hello polarbear | 11:10 |
| polarbear | oh hello | 11:11 |
| polarbear | got any cool optimising tip for a normal desktop envcironment? | 11:12 |
| jea | what type of optimisations are you looking for? | 11:13 |
| polarbear | mainly stability useful tips im kinda new to linux | 11:13 |
| polarbear | so far i found16.04.1 much better than 14.04 for hardware, everything im using works well | 11:14 |
| polarbear | yer dan how long u been using ubuntu for? | 11:19 |
| polarbear | dang** | 11:19 |
| jea | You will normally find that the newer versions have better hardware support, simply because they keep adding new drivers and things like that to the kernel | 11:46 |
| jea | If you want a really stable environment, definitely stick to the LTS releases as you seem to be. they are supported for a long time and will require less changes than the standard ones (which are only supported for 9 months) | 11:47 |
| jea | as for optimisation, that really comes down to personal preference | 11:48 |
| jea | I don't change all that much on a base ubuntu install, apart from a few command line tools that I use for software development and some non-free tools for playing MP3 files, etc | 11:48 |
| jea | I like the unity interface that comes with ubuntu, but there are a lot of people who don't. the good thing is that you can choose whatever you want, install it and then start using it | 11:49 |
| polarbear | cool | 12:27 |
