| Joker2017 | hello... | 11:48 |
| Joker2017 | Newbie here. Installed Ubuntu Budgie yesterday on my laptop. | 11:48 |
| Joker2017 | Budgie is really impressive. | 11:49 |
| Joker2017 | quite fast and snappy. | 11:49 |
| fossfreedom_ | Joker2017: cheers for the feedback. Always appreciated! | 11:50 |
| Joker2017 | thanks for this really well constructed distro. | 11:51 |
| fossfreedom_ | :) | 11:51 |
| Joker2017 | how is it different from Solus Budgie? | 11:52 |
| Joker2017 | and in term of resource usage where does it rank in comparison with LXDE, XFCE and MATE? | 11:53 |
| fossfreedom_ | size of the app repository, fixed release schedule probably the main areas of difference | 11:53 |
| fossfreedom_ | budgie sits between xfce and gnome-shell | 11:53 |
| Joker2017 | ok. It means it is slightly heavier than xfce? | 11:54 |
| Joker2017 | can it be used on really old computers? | 11:55 |
| fossfreedom_ | how old is "old"? | 11:55 |
| Joker2017 | I have a 11 years old laptop, runs on Intel Celeron M Single core 1.5 Ghz cpu, 2 GBs RAM and 40 GBs HDD. | 11:56 |
| Joker2017 | I have already installed 64 bit version of Ubuntu Budgie on my new laptop. Really enjoying it. | 11:56 |
| fossfreedom_ | memory is the key here | 11:57 |
| fossfreedom_ | so 2GB is the min spec | 11:57 |
| Joker2017 | ok | 11:57 |
| fossfreedom_ | the key is what you use the desktop for | 11:57 |
| fossfreedom_ | so if you are into video editing ... the perhaps you might want to consider a better laptop | 11:57 |
| Joker2017 | browsing, office use, multimedia. But, not for games. | 11:57 |
| fossfreedom_ | general stuff like you say - will work nicely. | 11:58 |
| Joker2017 | No. I use both of these laptops for basic home and office use. | 11:58 |
| Joker2017 | ok. | 11:58 |
| fossfreedom_ | basically try - if it works for you - great... | 11:59 |
| Joker2017 | do all the changes made in Budgie desktop by Solus team get incorporated in Ubuntu Budgie also? | 11:59 |
| Joker2017 | ok | 11:59 |
| fossfreedom_ | if not ... try xfce/lxde based distros instead | 11:59 |
| Joker2017 | ok | 11:59 |
| fossfreedom_ | yes - same budgie-desktop code base | 11:59 |
| Joker2017 | ok | 12:00 |
| Joker2017 | do I need to install Ubuntu Software Centre in U Budgie? | 12:00 |
| Joker2017 | to get more apps. | 12:00 |
| fossfreedom_ | ubuntu budgie comes with gnome-software centre by default | 12:01 |
| Joker2017 | ok. Installing other software centres not necessary? | 12:01 |
| fossfreedom_ | if you are comfortable with terminal ... or use something like synaptic - you've got lots of options | 12:02 |
| Joker2017 | I am not that comfortable with terminal. | 12:02 |
| Joker2017 | btw, any particular advatages of Ubuntu Budgie over Solus Budgie? | 12:03 |
| fossfreedom_ | I'm perhaps the wrong person to ask. Try both - see what fits with you. | 12:04 |
| Joker2017 | ok | 12:04 |
| Joker2017 | btw, is Budgie available for 16.04.2 also? | 12:08 |
| fossfreedom_ | yes - https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads | 12:08 |
| Joker2017 | ok. It is available. | 12:08 |
| Joker2017 | thanks a lot. | 12:08 |
| Joker2017 | of all the flavors of Ubuntu I like this a lot. | 12:09 |
| Joker2017 | have tried lubuntu, xubuntu, unity and mate so far. | 12:09 |
