| * genii slides RFleming a fresh coffee | 19:35 | |
| RFleming | yum | 19:35 |
|---|---|---|
| genii | RFleming: It's usually pretty quiet in here. Sometimes it picks up if there's some hackerspace stuff or *buntu thing happening | 19:36 |
| RFleming | Nice. | 19:36 |
| RFleming | I'll have to add this to my auto-start | 19:36 |
| RFleming | a way to harass you :) | 19:36 |
| genii | RFleming: There's also the mailing list, https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca | 19:37 |
| genii | RFleming: Heh, yes | 19:37 |
| RFleming | is it full of crap? | 19:37 |
| genii | Not usually. | 19:37 |
| RFleming | I may join it. I get so much crap, it's insane | 19:37 |
| RFleming | you part of the xubuntu devel group? | 19:37 |
| genii | Nah, I've done testing but not a lot. My main involvement is with Kubuntu | 19:42 |
| RFleming | really? | 19:43 |
| genii | But also marginally with all the other distributions, since the place i volunteer/am a board member at is Toronto FreeNet have machines which run pretty much everything | 19:43 |
| RFleming | as in freenet project? | 19:44 |
| genii | RFleming: Yes, was with Kubuntu since the beginning :D | 19:44 |
| RFleming | no | 19:44 |
| RFleming | free-net | 19:44 |
| RFleming | the ISP? | 19:44 |
| genii | RFleming: Is a co-op ISP and also subscribes to the Free-Net philosophy as in freedom, yes | 19:45 |
| RFleming | I ditched KDE when 4 came out | 19:45 |
| RFleming | genii: I used to be a member | 19:45 |
| genii | Yeah, KDE3-KDE4 transition was painful | 19:45 |
| RFleming | a long long long time ago | 19:45 |
| RFleming | and Internet Connect | 19:46 |
| RFleming | err Internet Direct? | 19:46 |
| RFleming | yeah, second sounds right | 19:46 |
| RFleming | man, long time ago | 19:46 |
| RFleming | so long | 19:46 |
| genii | Yes, Internet Direct was pretty good :) | 19:46 |
| RFleming | then Tucows messed it all up | 19:46 |
| genii | I used them a long time, they had the install CD witht he happy baby | 19:46 |
| genii | This reminds me of the Internet telecafe they had | 19:47 |
| RFleming | yeah... I was running Gentoo during the 3-4 transition, and KDE bricked my install | 19:47 |
| RFleming | I got so pissed off, spending so much damned time compiling, for me to end up with a big pile of crap in my lap... I switched to fluxbox. | 19:48 |
| RFleming | I'm really looking forward to Lubuntu's switch to LXQT. I like the qt library, and the unified look... but I really do dislike the bloat of KDE | 19:49 |
| RFleming | I've installed it a few times, and am always left thinking... It's pretty, but it's slow. | 19:49 |
| RFleming | (Kubuntu) | 19:50 |
| genii | On some slower machines here I have Lubuntu and Xubuntu, works great | 19:50 |
| genii | FreeNet generally runs Xubuntu on the lower end stuff | 19:50 |
| RFleming | by no means is Xubuntu light. It's a bit of a misnomer... but it's quick, and stable. | 19:51 |
| RFleming | nor is Mate light... it's probably more bloated than Xfce! | 19:51 |
| genii | The xubuntu dev team is also somewhat more organized than the Lubuntu team | 19:51 |
| RFleming | yeah | 19:58 |
| RFleming | I'm hoping for an Ubuntu-budgie | 19:59 |
| RFleming | that's a slick interface; perfect for light duty computing | 19:59 |
| genii | Yes, I saw you mention that in -offtopic :) | 19:59 |
| RFleming | if you've got time, check out budgie-remix in a VM | 20:00 |
| RFleming | https://budgie-remix.org/ | 20:00 |
| RFleming | wallpaper is kinda crap, but Solus OS has a real nice DM | 20:01 |
| RFleming | but it integrates with the gnome stack :) | 20:02 |
| * genii bookmarks | 20:04 | |
| RFleming | the guy is trying really hard to make it an official flavour | 20:05 |
| RFleming | budgie-remix is pure ubuntu with budgie as the DM. budgie-desktop is actually in the Canonical repos now | 20:05 |
| genii | Yes, i saw that | 20:11 |
| genii | Gotta go watch a Kubuntu podcast :) afk | 20:12 |
| genii | If you're interested, http://www.youtube.com/c/KubuntuPodcast/live | 20:13 |
| RFleming | genii: for you, I'll try kubuntu again | 20:13 |
| RFleming | on real hardware | 20:13 |
| RFleming | genii: you recommend LTS or yakkety? | 21:13 |
| RFleming | (kubuntu) | 21:13 |
| genii | LTS | 21:13 |
| genii | And google how to disable akonadi :) | 21:14 |
| RFleming | 16.10 not ready for prime time? | 21:14 |
| genii | They are having Qt4-Qt5 transition issues | 21:15 |
| RFleming | ahh | 21:15 |
| RFleming | I expect that to happen with the gtk3-gtk4 transition :) | 21:15 |
| RFleming | although 4.6 will be gtk 4.0 | 21:17 |
| RFleming | as 4.0-4.5 will be transitions | 21:17 |
| RFleming | or something like that | 21:18 |
