| c_smith | quick question before I install 17.10 and have the rug pulled out from under me mid way, has the DE been switched to Gnome as of yet? | 17:57 |
|---|---|---|
| c_smith | would like to know so I can test the intended DE instead of the secondary one | 17:57 |
| ducasse | c_smith: no, it hasn't | 18:14 |
| c_smith | ducasse, alright, I take it any testing would be appreciate nonetheless? | 18:21 |
| c_smith | *appreciated | 18:21 |
| valorie | c_smith: I've been advising people to just install ubuntu-gnome for now | 20:09 |
| valorie | it's not quite the same thing, but closer than stock Ubuntu is | 20:09 |
| valorie | of course, my usual advice is mostly Kubuntu is best! | 20:09 |
| valorie | lol | 20:09 |
| c_smith | valorie, good advice. tbh I did that a couple weeks ago on my laptop (that's still running it), was mainly wondering if it was a good point to try | 20:10 |
| c_smith | lol Neon is my main distro atm | 20:10 |
| valorie | neon is indeed best for some | 20:10 |
| c_smith | the folks behind that are doing good work | 20:10 |
| valorie | I"m on both teams | 20:10 |
| c_smith | sweet. | 20:10 |
| valorie | indeed | 20:10 |
| c_smith | sucks that a certain game dropped support for DX9 and WinXP (only things enabling that game to run in Wine), dual boot it is, I guess... | 20:11 |

| enyc | c_smith: humm.... you can create a virtuamob vm, then export as ovf, then import into free-of-charge vmware personal | 20:20 |
| enyc | c_smith: vmware has working 3daccel, aiui | 20:20 |
| c_smith | or I could just use the unused 500GB HDD. XD | 20:23 |
| c_smith | 4 hard drives in this machine might be a bit excessive lol | 20:24 |
| enyc | c_smith: =) but still pointing out usefully 3daccel windows vm can work .... | 20:25 |
| c_smith | true. given if I have a separate GPU from how I understand that to work | 20:25 |
| enyc | maybe | 20:26 |
| enyc | i thought there was an abstracted approach rather than gpu-passthrough | 20:27 |
| c_smith | true, but tbh it's really not needed in my case since I've more hard drives than I know what to do with. XD | 20:27 |
| enyc | important point is virtualmob 3daccel is only experimental / not so usable, aiui | 20:27 |
| enyc | beware of windows screwing up bootloaders and being a pain | 20:27 |
| enyc | best to install wint olnly specific disk attached, etc. | 20:28 |
| enyc | virtualization (where working well, usually doable) gives you much better flexbility/maintainability | 20:28 |
| c_smith | a reason to have 2 separate ESP partitions. XD | 20:33 |
| c_smith | hard for Windows to screw up a partition is doesn't particularly have anything to do with. | 20:33 |
