[15:03] <clivejo> Artful Aardvark?
[15:06] <jarlath1> Haha!
[15:06] <jarlath1> The first conversation I've seen here started with one letter :)
[15:11] <clivejo> Thats the new name of 17.10 :)
[15:12] <jarlath1> Yes, I heard. Nice to see it come full circle :)
[15:12] <jarlath1> Even if it is without Unity :(
[15:13] <clivejo> I was never a Unity fan, can't say I'm disappointed!
[15:14] <jarlath1> Good for you. It's really not nice loosing a favourite DE. What do you run?
[15:14] <clivejo> but it is sad that Canonical is dropping support for desktop.  That will have a knock on with other flavours
[15:14] <clivejo> KDE Plasma
[15:15] <jarlath1> I used KDE a lot in the past. Very powerful.
[15:15] <clivejo> the switch to Plasma 5 was a bit "unstable"
[15:16] <clivejo> but recent version are becoming more stable and polished looking
[15:17] <clivejo> there are some very good Unity themes for plasma
[15:18] <jarlath1> I'm using Kdenlive a lot on Unity.
[15:18] <jarlath1> I've seen a recent configuration to make kde look more like Unity.
[15:18] <jarlath1> But for me Unity is about the HUD, global menus and the other nice intergration.
[15:19] <clivejo> they recently added global menus
[15:19] <jarlath1> Cool. I remember them from 3.x
[15:19] <clivejo> the HUD, I think someone is working on
[15:19] <jarlath1> Yes, I forget the name of it but it sounds promising.
[15:20] <clivejo> well its a plugin for krunner which would do the same sort of thing
[15:20] <clivejo> I am liking the Mycroft intregration too
[15:20] <jarlath1> Is Mycroft useful?
[15:21] <clivejo> can be
[15:21] <jarlath1> I've seen videos of novelty uses so far
[15:21] <jarlath1> I probably need to make my house 'smart' before I'd use it.
[15:22] <clivejo> there is a plasmoid which gives it KDE skills
[15:22] <jarlath1> Oh, very cool
[15:22] <jarlath1> Are you on Kubuntu or Neon?
[15:23] <clivejo> very handy for switching desktops, locking screen, working with apps
[15:23] <clivejo> mostly Kubuntu
[15:32] <jarlath1> Oh, Alan Pope is the voice of Mycroft :)
[18:06] <clivejo> is he?
[20:10] <tdr112> yep
