[04:51] nope [04:51] ok [04:52] just the phantoms in your closet and the voices in your head' [04:52] i'm trying to find out the best linux version for music and games ? [04:53] oh, pretty much any of them, but for games steam and gog are preajudice against anything non-*buntu and non-mint [04:54] i have got a 2010 hp tower computer, amd phenom 2 x4 [04:54] with 10 gb ram [04:54] xubuntu would be good, still be able to play a lot of great gog and steam games [04:55] okay good [04:55] what are your guys thoughts on mate making zswap a default? [04:56] i'm doing every thing i can do to get away from micro soft [04:56] I think it would be a good decision [04:56] indeed [04:57] so as you see i am new, but i do know alittle bit of computers, and learning [04:57] and for music, vlc is available on all the distros [04:57] yes vlc is great for mp3 [04:58] you can watch movies to you can install what you need in the welcome menu [04:59] my only main problem is when i install a third party game, i can't find the icons or the starting point for the game ? [05:00] should bi in your menu [05:00] be [05:00] where is the menu ? [05:00] top left [05:00] applications [05:00] even gog installed games put a menu entry under games [05:01] then should be in games when you click applications [05:01] ok i will try it, but usally it dont show me much [05:01] theres a lot of games made to work on linux on steam as well [05:02] i have xcom left for dead 2 a few others [05:02] ok i just tried it but it does not show it all [05:03] how were they installed...exactly? [05:03] well depends [05:03] sorry thought mate said that [05:03] what games?

I trust you are all doing well [05:52] very wbu? [05:53] I am new to the Linux experience and I was hoping if someone here could tell me if Ubuntu Mate can run on Wayland ? thanks for your help. [05:58] i dont think so cuss regular ubuntu dont but i could be wrong [06:06] ripper, thanks perhaps someone else here might know thanks again. [06:07] i know fedora 25 does [06:10] jack-the_ripper, Yes that's true but I am new to Linux and Fedora 25 does interest me but at this point Ubuntu Mate seems to be a good start point for me. [06:11] jack-the_ripper, And that perhaps there is a way to enable Wayland on Mate. [06:24] just giving you some options [06:25] ubunut is a good place to start [12:01] anyone know if there is an easy way (on a Windows 10 / Ubuntu (the latest 16.10 i think) Dual boot system) to fix to restoring the boot info Ubuntu uses? While in Windows I ran a partition software to resize free space & when it rebooted (of course) Ubuntu can't boot. [12:33] i search applications [12:33] how do i search for applications [15:36] hello [20:34] ey [20:34] hi [20:34] alguien habla español aca? [20:34] i'm sorry, i don't speak Spanish :( [21:51] hello [21:51] noobie here [21:56] not sure if I am doing this right..? [22:01] hi michael_
