[02:53] hi hi [02:53] anyone around? [11:48] hello... [11:48] Newbie here. Installed Ubuntu Budgie yesterday on my laptop. [11:49] Budgie is really impressive. [11:49] quite fast and snappy. [11:50] Joker2017: cheers for the feedback. Always appreciated! [11:51] thanks for this really well constructed distro. [11:51] :) [11:52] how is it different from Solus Budgie? [11:53] and in term of resource usage where does it rank in comparison with LXDE, XFCE and MATE? [11:53] size of the app repository, fixed release schedule probably the main areas of difference [11:53] budgie sits between xfce and gnome-shell [11:54] ok. It means it is slightly heavier than xfce? [11:55] can it be used on really old computers? [11:55] how old is "old"? [11:56] 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] I have already installed 64 bit version of Ubuntu Budgie on my new laptop. Really enjoying it. [11:57] memory is the key here [11:57] so 2GB is the min spec [11:57] ok [11:57] the key is what you use the desktop for [11:57] so if you are into video editing ... the perhaps you might want to consider a better laptop [11:57] browsing, office use, multimedia. But, not for games. [11:58] general stuff like you say - will work nicely. [11:58] No. I use both of these laptops for basic home and office use. [11:58] ok. [11:59] basically try - if it works for you - great... [11:59] do all the changes made in Budgie desktop by Solus team get incorporated in Ubuntu Budgie also? [11:59] ok [11:59] if not ... try xfce/lxde based distros instead [11:59] ok [11:59] yes - same budgie-desktop code base [12:00] ok [12:00] do I need to install Ubuntu Software Centre in U Budgie? [12:00] to get more apps. [12:01] ubuntu budgie comes with gnome-software centre by default [12:01] ok. Installing other software centres not necessary? [12:02] if you are comfortable with terminal ... or use something like synaptic - you've got lots of options [12:02] I am not that comfortable with terminal. [12:03] btw, any particular advatages of Ubuntu Budgie over Solus Budgie? [12:04] I'm perhaps the wrong person to ask. Try both - see what fits with you. [12:04] ok [12:08] btw, is Budgie available for 16.04.2 also? [12:08] yes - https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads [12:08] ok. It is available. [12:08] thanks a lot. [12:09] of all the flavors of Ubuntu I like this a lot. [12:09] have tried lubuntu, xubuntu, unity and mate so far. [14:18] hi anyone have tried skippy-xd with budgie 17.04 [14:18] ?? [14:20] yes [14:20] why? [14:22] the mouse binding works to you?? [14:22] never used the mouse binding - always keyboard [14:23] sorry not the binding to lounch skippy but the "focus" option and the other [14:24] I've never used skippy in anyway other than via the keyboard - so sorry, can't help here. [14:25] ok [19:26] more people in gitter, right ? [19:27] yes [20:14] well, my friends use differient chat app, like facebook, skype [20:14] google hangout sometimes [20:15] so pidgin is my choice to solve that problems, one chat client to handle them all [20:16] but pudgin is not support gitter [20:16] fortunatetly, ubutu budgie has irc [20:51] giang: gitter has an IRC bridge - https://irc.gitter.im/ [20:56] let me try
