| sebsebseb | hi | 06:29 |
|---|---|---|
| lotuspsychje | hey sebsebseb | 06:29 |
| lotuspsychje | tested 17.10 yet sebsebseb ? | 06:30 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: nope have you? | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: ill wait until alpha2 so gnome will be there | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: then help bugging out | 06:30 |
| sebsebseb | yeah thats what I was thinking probably no gnome shell in there yet | 06:31 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: until alpha2 it will stay on unity7 | 06:31 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: I am testing a unity gnome theme in 16.10 | 06:31 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: join #ubuntu-discuss and imgur your desktop theme? | 06:32 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: one that can also do a nice windows theme, and a basic mac os x. some random script omgubuntu mentioned. uhmm testing random scripts from the Internet that doesnt seem particulary secure? uhmm yeah! but this one seems ok | 06:34 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: no need just look on omgubuntu | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: ah yeah, saw that script article | 06:34 |
| sebsebseb | the dock/dash isnt that great | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: found this on deviant also: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Fedora-677149963 | 06:35 |
| sebsebseb | but at least it turned firefox with whatever default black theme, which looks horrible in ubuntu gnome, to grey thats better | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: lets make gnome better by bugging it out to the max :p | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | thats my plan for sure | 06:36 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: yeah not done theming stuff for ages, but thought would try script | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | i tested gnome-shell on my xenial laptop | 06:36 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: I think switching to gnome is wrong move | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | unity is quite established now | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | same here..but what can we do sebsebseb ? | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | uhmm 16.04 untill 2021 h eh or try unity 8 from universe repos, but some programs might not look quite right | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: so i hear unity7 will still be installable from the official repos | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | but if they wont work on it much..there's no point to continue right | 06:39 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: for GNOME Shelll I would usually use another distro | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: well we dont know yet how it will look vanilla on ubuntu, perhaps theyl add improvements | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: http://news.softpedia.com/news/gnome-3-26-desktop-environment-to-offer-todoist-integration-quarter-tiling-515200.shtml | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: despite all the flak it got from various vocal online people over the years, Unity gave people a real reason to use Ubuntu, and thats both unity 7 and 8 | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | thats my opinion also | 06:41 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: also if more fan boys reolised and then could accept, that in 16.10b | 06:41 |
| sebsebseb | and 17.04 | 06:41 |
| sebsebseb | the Unity 8 is JUST A PREVIEW | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | the ubports guys will work on unity8 still | 06:42 |
| sebsebseb | need other programs in there snaps or whatever like the Ubuntu tablet and phone to make much more usuable | 06:43 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: its asahame my ubuntu tablet is away for repair with a guy i know since some screen cracks, but its also ashame that it isnt going to be so simple to repair, since how BQ have attached certain hardware components together | 06:45 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: might end up buying a second hand one later on as a result | 06:46 |
| sebsebseb | dont know yet | 06:46 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: theres two Unity 8 forks actually yes two | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: lets c what the future brings us right :p | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: join #ubuntu-discuss mate, we all hang there | 07:03 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: I am waiting for another distro to finally release its 6th version after over a year, but hey its a 100% community distro, all volunters, no commercial sponser, and reasonabbly small community, so | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: but the GNOME will be recent so :) | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | but I guess may start using that more again once that | 07:08 |
| lotuspsychje | sounds cool | 07:08 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: been using unity 7 on computer usuallly when using for about two years, well got a bit bored of gnome 3 gnome shell so. and the bq 4.5 ubunu phone was a short lived daily driver, snce the mx 4 became one as well. later a ubuntu m10 hd tablet as well | 07:11 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: i got unity on all my machines, touch on my bq 4.5 and nexus7 | 07:11 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: yes certain people actually use ubuntu touch as a daily driver. and you saw what i had to say about desktop previwes above, but yes convergence seemed like a good idea to, so despite also having gnome shell as a favourite, you can see why i am beng quite hmm to it switching to that | 07:13 |
| lotuspsychje | same here | 07:13 |
| sebsebseb | and they wanted to make money,, but unity 7 and 8 were also inovation | 07:14 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: i wonder how gnome 18.04 will look on a x86 tablet? | 07:14 |
| sebsebseb | i remember when things were mostly about gnome 2 and kde 3/4 all a bit boring really, but then along came gnome 3 gnome shelll and unity | 07:15 |
| lotuspsychje | i liked gnome2 lightweight | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | yeah gnome 2 was good | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | so I like mate as well :) | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | now gnome3 feels bit laggy, sluggish | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: tested mate on my xenial, not really fan of it either | 07:17 |
| sebsebseb | never really liked xfce or lxde much, seemmed gnome 2 could do more, plus more used to it, simce both fedora and ubuntu used | 07:17 |
| sebsebseb | xfce was around firstt though | 07:18 |
| lotuspsychje | lubuntu 16.04 is pretty nice | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | it dates back to like 1996 i think | 07:18 |
| lotuspsychje | one of the best lubuntu's ever | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | and cinnamon uh no | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | mate is good for light waight or classic style | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: unity tighed people to ubuntu, as of 17.10 well it will much less | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: you know whats the problem, unity works right out of the box | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | sebsebseb: all others i tested...needs alot of tuning | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | unworkable by default | 07:21 |
| sebsebseb | its easy to use and works well, thats unity 7, but also 8 on phone and tablet | 07:21 |
| sebsebseb | the desktop reviews were a bit too much like a preview of 8, which may have been a problem there, since the fan boys, wont just put in there own stuff to that | 07:22 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: as a interface I love unity 8 on phone and tablet though | 07:23 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | previews not reviews | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: well at least the 17.04 vesion of 8 works in virtualbox, so if you want to then remember what ccould have been, there you go | 07:24 |
| sebsebseb | 16.10 version of unty 8 does not unfirtunatly | 07:25 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: actually i read a good article about the so called failure | 07:26 |
| sebsebseb | lets try and find that for you | 07:26 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: http://www.networkworld.com/article/3192311/linux/lessons-learned-from-the-failure-of-ubuntu-touch.html | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah ive read that1, good article | 07:28 |
| sebsebseb | lotuspsychje: indeed it is | 07:30 |
| valorie | well, halium project might help with that in a big way | 08:00 |
