| * waltman just rebooted into the shiny new kernel point release | 00:02 | |
| waltman | In fact the upcoming new ubuntu version was my main motivation in finally getting backups setup on my new box | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| waltman | Wow, zesty's due next Thursday! | 00:13 |
| pleia2 | :) | 02:45 |
| icey | so, 1804 is dropping Unity, thoughts? | 07:43 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, critters and everything else | 10:01 |
| waltman | I feel like I'm barely using any of the features in Unity, so I don't have many thoughts on it. | 10:25 |
| icey | I never realized how much gnome3 and unity look alike now: https://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ | 10:47 |
| erstazi | icey: I think it is a good move. I loathed unity | 11:52 |
| waltman | I don't feel like I've used the alternatives enough to form an opinion. So long as it can run a terminal I'm happy. :) | 12:16 |
| teddy-dbear | Unity? what's that? Xubuntu user here | 12:22 |
| jedijf | similar here, when unity first dropped, then I saw Gnome3, ....so similar, useless forkage....so some years later....it has happened | 12:56 |
| jedijf | and Gnome3 didn't take the beating that unity did | 12:57 |
| waltman | unity doesn't bother me very much | 13:11 |
| === icey_ is now known as icey | ||
| Pennth | icey, I realized the similarity when I started using fedora at work. So I'm just hoping for a transition package that will aotomagically bring in all the Unity KB shortcust I'm used to rather than having to reduplicate them by hand | 20:24 |
| Pennth | I'm not really going to miss the lenses though | 20:25 |
| waltman | There's one thing I can confidently predict about Ubuntu dropping Unity for Gnome: 2018 will finally be the Year of the Linux Desktop. | 20:37 |
| Pennth | I like Canonical taking the alternate definition of convergence: not "all your stuff should run Ubuntu" but "We're going to play better with other Linux distros" | 20:39 |
| swift110 | hey all | 21:16 |
