| Spass | LinuxNovice: Hello. | 11:44 |
| LinuxNovice | Spass, hi.. | 11:45 |
| LinuxNovice | I am new to Linux. Was curious to know what is different and better in Xfce in general and Xubuntu in particular over other distros. | 11:46 |
| DerLinke | its more liteweight then the new gnome 3 shell | 11:47 |
| DerLinke | or unity | 11:47 |
| LinuxNovice | is it better and more lightweight than Mate? | 11:49 |
| xangua | You already know my answer ;-) | 11:50 |
| DerLinke | updates on xubuntu are faster then updates on mint, so i use xubuntu. its all based on the old gnome-panel. | 11:50 |
| LinuxNovice | ok. | 11:51 |
| LinuxNovice | Xubuntu 16.10 or 16.04? which one would you recommend? | 11:52 |
| xangua | LTS | 11:52 |
| DerLinke | 16.04 is the LontTimeSupport-Version | 11:53 |
| LinuxNovice | ok. Is Xubuntu faster than Mint Xfce? Because both use Xfce DE. | 11:53 |
| DerLinke | but 16.10 uses the new 4.8 kernel, wich dont makes problems on my mashine :P | 11:53 |
| LinuxNovice | after I download and install the OS, I need to update it or does the im | 11:56 |
| LinuxNovice | or does the downloaded image contains all the update up to the point of download? | 11:56 |
| DerLinke | never messured it, but mint need longer for upgrades ;) There is an option in install-progress to install updates while install | 11:56 |
| DerLinke | should be available in both distros | 11:57 |
| xangua | No one asked about Mint | 11:57 |
| * xangua is confused | 11:57 | |
| DerLinke | xangua: he asked about mint xfce | 11:57 |
| LinuxNovice | I checked the website of a debian based distro MX Linux. They make available the image file with monthly updates. | 11:58 |
| LinuxNovice | so, once you download the image and create a live usb, you are running the latest and updated OS. No much time consumed after install in updating. | 11:59 |
| DerLinke | ok ^^ | 11:59 |
| LinuxNovice | particularly useful if one wants to use the computer offline, I think. | 12:00 |
| xangua | Ubuntu installer download updates while installing so... | 12:00 |
| LinuxNovice | ok. | 12:00 |
| LinuxNovice | and btw, is Xubuntu faster than Mint Xfce? | 12:03 |
| xangua | Xfce is pretty much the same in any distro you try, also only official Ubuntu flavors at supported in *Ubuntu channels | 12:05 |
| LinuxNovice | ok | 12:05 |
| xubuntu16wDan | Hi. I am running 16.10 with only 2gb ram and no swap drive which is not recommended. Pls can someone help me setup a swap drive using gparted? See fdisk-l on pastebin - Thanks very much! Dan. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23683798/ | 19:02 |
| xubuntu16wDan | Good news! have resolved the issue I had with the swap file. It was really easy with gparted and fstab. Merry Christmas to all in IRC land! | 20:03 |
| xubuntu47i | hello | 20:30 |
