BluesKajHi folks12:06
R13oseHi14:20
R13oseI am still getting this: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z6014:21
daftykinsoh well14:22
daftykinsask in #ubuntu or #kubuntu14:22
R13oseokay, thanks14:23
R13oseHow come Linux is not more popular?14:23
daftykinsvalues about freedom only get you so far, just look at the issues you can't solve :)14:24
R13oseyes but other OSes have even worse problems14:26
daftykinsnope14:28
daftykinsonly for those who can't set them up14:28
R13osereally?14:29
lordievaderMany people don't even know what an operating system is, let alone that there are more...14:30
R13oseMicrosoft seems to have a monopoly on pre-loaded OSes.14:31
daftykinsyep, naughty tactics14:32
BluesKajyeah, just try to buy a pc or laptop without an OS14:40
daftykinsit wouldn't save you much anyway, i remember when that idea started going around about declining the licenses on firing up a new machine and asking for a refund14:41
daftykinsat least you can custom build desktops and do whatever OS wise :>14:41
R13oseHow do you buy a laptop without an OS at a store?  I only find ones that have OSes14:41
daftykinsyou don't14:42
daftykinsbut you could go to a company that sells laptops with Linux, they do exist14:42
R13oseexamples?14:43
BluesKaj a friend managed to buy one, but he still paid the list price.14:43
daftykinshonestly this is too basic for you to be asking, use a search engine.14:43
R13ose:P14:43
BluesKajR13ose, over here computers aren't loaded with windows until the machine is sold...usually  unless they're on sale14:45
lordievaderDell used to sell Ubuntu machines, not sure if they still do.14:45
daftykinsyeah developer edition14:47
R13oseI am never switching to another OS ever again14:53

Bashing-omEriC^^: You are having fun now . Booting issues to keep you occupied :)19:42
EriC^^lol19:42
EriC^^you know me too well :D19:42
Bashing-omWell, just glad you are on the channel to keep us all in-line . I am still way behind booting up EFI systems .19:43
EriC^^i'm glad to be here, cozy bed smokes and chips19:46
EriC^^the weather really took a turn this past couple weeks, at least here in lebanon19:47
EriC^^did the nvidia work?19:48
Bashing-omEriC^^: Well ., nVidia - yes and no .. But I am in a happy state with it . in 14.04 there is no open source driver support but even on the vesa driver the performance is better than with that old ATI card . 16.04 on the spinner has no issues with the new nVidia card .19:51
Bashing-omEriC^^: ^^^ but but but .. 14.04 on my minimal build my own - even after messing about a bunch with 16.04 - remains my perferred system .19:53
EriC^^same here, 14.04 is pretty dear to my heart20:00
daftykinslast of the sane editions!20:01
daftykinswell, for server at least >:)20:01
Bashing-omwell .. I must tell the truth .. last sane edition for me was 10.04 ! Then came upstart and all the ither releated changes - not for the good .20:09
EriC^^i've yet to try 10.0420:13
EriC^^i'm pretty curious, many people say good things about it20:14
Bashing-omEriC^^: But 10.04 was a long time in the past . It is history now . I am real slow about abou picking up on 16.04 - systemd .20:20
EriC^^same here just the very basics20:21
EriC^^i dont really know much upstart either20:21
EriC^^just service .. restart and such20:21
