[00:02]  * waltman just rebooted into the shiny new kernel point release
[00:04] <waltman> In fact the upcoming new ubuntu version was my main motivation in finally getting backups setup on my new box
[00:13] <waltman> Wow, zesty's due next Thursday!
[02:45] <pleia2> :)
[07:43] <icey> so, 1804 is dropping Unity, thoughts?
[10:01] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, critters and everything else
[10:25] <waltman> I feel like I'm barely using any of the features in Unity, so I don't have many thoughts on it.
[10:47] <icey> I never realized how much gnome3 and unity look alike now: https://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/
[11:52] <erstazi> icey: I think it is a good move. I loathed unity
[12:16] <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. :)
[12:22] <teddy-dbear> Unity? what's that? Xubuntu user here
[12:56] <jedijf> similar here, when unity first dropped, then I saw Gnome3, ....so similar, useless forkage....so some years later....it has happened
[12:57] <jedijf> and Gnome3 didn't take the beating that unity did
[13:11] <waltman> unity doesn't bother me very much
=== icey_ is now known as icey
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <Pennth> I'm not really going to miss the lenses though
[20:37] <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.
[20:39] <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"
[21:16] <swift110> hey all
