| waltman | I know I asked this a few weeks ago, but I'm going to be setting up a new ubuntu home machine this weekend. Do I want server or desktop? 16.04 or 16.10? | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| rmg51 | waltman: 16.04 is an LTS. that's good for 2 years before a new LTS comes out | 02:25 |
| waltman | Right, but maybe I want to keep up with the latest version? | 02:26 |
| rmg51 | if this is for home use only, probably desktop | 02:27 |
| rmg51 | then 16.10 | 02:28 |
| rmg51 | I've been staying with LTS' for the last couple of years | 02:29 |
| waltman | Is the difference that desktop comes with Unity, or whatever the desktop UI is these days? | 02:29 |
| rmg51 | I just don't feel like upgrading every 6 months | 02:29 |
| rmg51 | desktop is Unity | 02:30 |
| waltman | I've been running debian testing and upgrading nearly every day for the past 15 years :) | 02:30 |
| rmg51 | unless you go with something like xubuntu | 02:30 |
| waltman | I don't really like xfce, so I might try the default UI and see if I like that better. | 02:32 |
| rmg51 | you can always add another desktop later | 02:36 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, critters and everything else | 10:56 |
| jedijf | waltman: give Lubuntu (lxde) a testdrive too | 11:52 |
| icey | ahoy | 13:08 |
| icey | waltman: rmg51 16.04 will actually be supported by Canonical for 5 years as an LTS | 13:09 |
| waltman | I think I'm going to try to keep it up to date with the latest and greatest. | 14:25 |
| icey | waltman: I wouldn't recommend my setup, I've been running nightly for about a month now, it's *msotly* fine but randomly weird things hhappen | 14:38 |
| waltman | Latest and greatest official releases :) | 15:09 |
