| LDG | Today I realized that i hold onto old laptop for a bit too long. I have three laptop from 2010. In my head one works best. It has 4GB of DDR3 and and i3. | 00:48 |
| LDG | The other is a 2010 HP mini laptop and a third has a intel celron processer and 4GB of DDR2 ram | 00:48 |
| LDG | Is lubuntu considered a light OS? | 00:49 |
| wxl | yep | 00:49 |
| LDG | It seems to run really good on my netbook. | 00:50 |
| LDG | I don't know if I should upgrade the DDR3/i3 laptop with an SSD or get one for my Intel Celeron / DDR2 laptop. | 00:51 |
| LDG | What would you suggest? | 00:52 |
| wxl | i'd go for the i3 | 00:52 |
| LDG | should i abandon the one with DDR2? | 00:54 |
| LDG | Intel celeron | 00:54 |
| LDG | The netbook kinds sucks but I like to carry it at work i have to type out a statement or 2. | 00:54 |
| wxl | i mean you could do both but ddr is ooooold | 00:54 |
| wxl | and celrons can be problematic at times | 00:55 |
| LDG | laptops don't run on ddr anymore? | 00:56 |
| wxl | ddr2 i meant | 00:59 |
| wxl | tbh, ddr3 has gone by the wayside | 00:59 |
| wxl | but it's hard as heck to find ddr2 | 01:00 |
| LDG | all this time i thought my i3 was a beast. i hadn't stopped to think about that fact that i bought it 7 years ago. | 01:02 |
| LDG | would you recommend I load up lubunto on the intel celeron or should I get a heavier OS? | 01:04 |
| wxl | it will be hard pressed to run anything outside of lubuntu | 01:04 |
| LDG | thanks for you help. | 01:06 |
| LDG | i don't know anyone else that knows anything outside of windows. | 01:06 |
| wxl | that's what we're here for :) | 01:06 |

| Guest4959 | I've just installed lubuntu on a netbook and when I press any key it automatically brings up the log out / shut down prompt. | 08:31 |
| leszek | Guest4959: sounds weird. Have you tried logout and login again ? | 08:50 |
| Guest4959 | Yeah I've done that and even reinstalled again using a pen drive. As soon as I press any key to type password it turns off. | 08:55 |
| mishugana | hola | 11:24 |
| mishugana | anybody in here? | 11:24 |
| hateball | yep | 11:25 |
| hateball | !ask | mishugana | 11:25 |
| ubottu | mishugana: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 11:25 |
| mishugana | woohoo! :P | 11:25 |
| mishugana | Okay, so here's my question: is Lubuntu, for all means and purposes, the same as Ubuntu if I want to use it for development? | 11:26 |
| mishugana | My problem is this - I'm running an Ubuntu 16.04 (?) instance on my macOS using Vmware fusion, and it gets extremely hot even for moderate use | 11:27 |
| mishugana | I've given 4GB (tried upto 6GB) RAM and 60GB | 11:27 |
| mishugana | and have the usual bunch of compilers running (no heavy IDEs, just Emacs and Sublime Text at most) | 11:27 |
| mishugana | and I had read the Lubuntu is far more resource-friendly than Ubuntu? | 11:28 |
| mishugana | I know that a lot of the issues are due to Vmware fusion itself, but I'm looking for a handy distro that I can do development on, but is less resource hungry than Ubuntu | 11:28 |
| hateball | mishugana: the only difference is the default DE | 11:28 |
| mishugana | but with good support from libraries and software | 11:28 |
| mishugana | DE? | 11:28 |
| hateball | mishugana: if you already have ubuntu installed you can just apt install lubuntu-desktop | 11:29 |
| hateball | and then pick lubuntu as your session on login | 11:29 |
| hateball | it's the same kernel etc in the base | 11:29 |
| hateball | mishugana: Desktop Environment | 11:29 |
| mishugana | so, is it indeed more lightweight than Ubuntu in terms of performance? | 11:29 |
| hateball | your... graphical desktop etc | 11:29 |
| mishugana | Ah, okay... thanks | 11:29 |
| mishugana | and also, is it possible to install it completely headless... I don't really need the UI | 11:29 |
| hateball | mishugana: sure, install ubuntu server or the minimal iso | 11:30 |
| mishugana | Hmmm... okay... and any idea if the it's leaner on resources than base Ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| hateball | Ubuntu server? Of course | 11:31 |
| hateball | there's no X installed at all by default | 11:31 |
| mishugana | excellent... and it has access to the same repositories, right? | 11:32 |
| hateball | mishugana: yes | 11:33 |
| mishugana | thanks, hateball | 11:33 |
| mishugana | that helps! :-) | 11:33 |
