lubot1<tsimonq2> The more I think about this, the more I think I like it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2018-February/017875.html01:11
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> rolling release01:12
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> kinda01:12
lubot1<tsimonq2> Sorta but not really01:12
lubot1<tsimonq2> See my response: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2018-February/017877.html01:12
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> odd release :D01:12
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> *flavour01:12
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> ._____.01:12
lubot1<tsimonq2> *flavor01:12
lubot1<tsimonq2> .____.01:12
lubot1<MichaelTun> It's Ubuntu Flavours but it's ok branding called be spelled wrong if they want01:14
lubot1<tsimonq2> meh not really01:14
lubot1<tsimonq2> It's mismatched01:14
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> 🇬🇧01:14
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> (Document) http://vps.tsimonq2.net//file_3686.mp401:15
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> I honestly don't know what to think. For example, my Solus OS machine works very well, but at some point, Ikey will release a drastically different ISO. and there comes instability again.01:15
lubot1<tsimonq2> I was the same way until I realized how wonderful this would actually be.01:16
lubot1<tsimonq2> Think about it.01:16
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> so this could actually work. like a hybrid release mode.01:16
lubot1<tsimonq2> No more stale release with outdated versions of everything.01:16
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> I dont't know01:16
lubot1<tsimonq2> I can see it working.01:16
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> looks like Solus XD01:16
lubot1<tsimonq2> heh01:16
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> debianites usually acused us of being "too cutting edge" regarding packages01:17
lubot1<tsimonq2> hahahahahahahaha01:17
lubot1<tsimonq2> well they're dinosaurs in that respect01:17
lubot1<tsimonq2> So it can go both ways ;D01:17
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> that's why :D01:17
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> we're like the rebel teenagers LOL01:18
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> wait... you're a rebel teenager!01:18
lubot1<tsimonq2> XD01:18
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> btw... HELLO MICHAEL!!! ❤️01:18

lubot1<tsimonq2> Please don't.04:37
lubot1<carriewst> Ok04:37

lubot1<tsimonq2> @julienlavergne ^^^^05:57
lubot<Jacob Kim> can anyone tell me how Xorg works? I know that it is a display server but then I don't really get it13:29
lubot<Jacob Kim> does a separate computer somewhere in the world woking as a server run the GUI for you?13:29
lubot<VikingRedwolf> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/250375/how-does-gui-in-unix-linux-actually-work13:29
lubot<VikingRedwolf> servers and clients are a behaviour class, they both can be in your machine, or outside. that's the power of Linux, having this kind of binary architecture13:30
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but server doesn't mean necessarily as "web server"13:31
lubot<Jacob Kim> thanks :D13:32
lubot<VikingRedwolf> yw13:32
lubot<Jacob Kim> what is wayland? i heard of it a lot when i was with fedora team, but i dont get the real differences between the two13:41
lubot<Jacob Kim> and why do people argue over them so much13:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> an xorg "replacement"13:41
lubot<VikingRedwolf> everytime somebody replaces something it's somehow polemic13:41
lubot<chiefgyk> Xorg is archaic and kind of a security problem it’s outlived it’s usefulness. Ubuntu offered Mir and then there is also Wayland13:42
lubot<Jacob Kim> oh yeah so is mir dead then?13:43
lubot<VikingRedwolf> it's community maintained. Kinda dead though13:43
lubot<chiefgyk> Yeah like most of the things canonical starts when it comes to smaller projects, e.g. phone, Unity, and such13:43
lubot<Jacob Kim> i really liked Unity 8 tho13:44
lubot<VikingRedwolf> yes, like UbuntuOne, etc...13:44
lubot<Jacob Kim> the idea of a unified OS for all devices sounded awesome13:44
lubot<chiefgyk> I jumped from Ubuntu to Xubuntu and Lubuntu after Unity became the default UI13:44
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I liked Unity13:45
lubot<chiefgyk> If done right yes, I deplore iOS and Android. Can’t wait for the Librem 5 phone a Debian based Linux on phone and not a google bastardization13:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> there's an official Unity flavour coming. maybe.13:45
lubot<Jacob Kim> i liked unity, WITH better theming ofc13:45
lubot<chiefgyk> I prefer XFCE and LXDE so much lighter and easier to understand for Linux noobs13:45
lubot<Jacob Kim> oh13:46
lubot<Jacob Kim> i actually had problems getting my way with lubuntu :P13:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> it is, both desktops have a more "windows-ish" metaphor. panel with tasks and an app button.13:46
lubot<chiefgyk> I generally recommend Ubuntu Mate nowadays for noobs13:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but I like the ability of xfce to imitate CDE and other old desktops :)13:46
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I raised with RedHat. I love old stuff :)13:47
lubot<chiefgyk> Haven’t used Redhat in years mostly CentOS, Ubuntu (and derivatives), and Debian/raspbian.13:48
lubot<VikingRedwolf> a great distro13:48
lubot<chiefgyk> It is for stability and business use if you don’t mind licensing costs13:48
lubot<chiefgyk> I’ve been playing with OpenSUSE more and more lately13:49
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @chiefgyk, right13:49
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but that's why we make LTS13:49
lubot<VikingRedwolf> but of course, you don't have a company that supports your specific needs. just the most caring community. and that's a lot13:50
lubot<chiefgyk> Was turned onto OpenSUSE it after watching Bryan Lunduke’s show a year or so ago. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a great rolling release type distro if you prefer rolling release13:50
lubot<tsimonq2> podcast.asknoahshow.com - he got a question about X/Wayland recently13:50
lubot<tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf, Although a financial backing wouldn't be out of the question :)13:51
lubot<chiefgyk> I just want a damn phone with true Linux not Android’s google bastardization. KDE and Gnome announced support for Librem 5 😍13:51
lubot<Jacob Kim> @tsimonq2, 😆13:52
lubot<chiefgyk> Would be great if LXDE could run on a touchscreen flawlessly then it would be amazing for mobility. I’m working on a pocket sized laptop with Lubuntu after my theft return (tax) allows me to get a 3D printer13:55
lubot<chiefgyk> Open sourcing all hardware I make of course 😉13:56
lubot<tsimonq2> @chiefgyk, That's probably going to need to be an LXQt goal.13:56
lubot<Jacob Kim> hmm touch UI is hard to implement on a DE like LXDE13:56
lubot<chiefgyk> Definitely but my pocket laptop is geared for small touchpad and mini keyboard.13:57
lubot<chiefgyk> Gnome, while heavy, has a great touch UI comparatively13:57
lubot<tsimonq2> @Jacob Kim, I think it could be easier on LXQt13:59
lubot<Jacob Kim> @tsimonq2, right, given that KDE mobile is a thing14:00
lubot<tsimonq2> @Jacob Kim, Yea14:01
lubot<chiefgyk> KDE seems really heavy for mobility unless they trimmed a lot14:01
lubot<tsimonq2> Not really, KDE has gotten much lighter lately, as @MichaelTun can attest :P14:03
lubot<chiefgyk> Oh? I’ll have to tinker with it as it is pretty14:04
lubot<tsimonq2> OK :)14:04
lubot<MichaelTun> @chiefgyk, Plasma is not heavy at all. That's a myth.14:44
lubotHowever they constantly improve the performance. In fact 5.12 which is soon to be released is focused specifically on performance14:44
lubot<Jacob Kim> here we go again 😆14:45
lubot<MichaelTun> @Jacob Kim, ?14:59
lubot<Jacob Kim> nah just had buggy Kubuntu stuff15:00
lubot<MichaelTun> A distro having issues doesn't mean that the DE itself is the cause of the issues.15:02
lubotAll distros implement their DE in a unique way somehow15:02
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> is openSUSE the best distro for KDE in terms of stability and performance?15:09
lubot<Jacob Kim> @MikolajczakMarcin, I'd say so...15:09
lubot<Jacob Kim> although i never tried kde neon15:09
lubot<MichaelTun> @MikolajczakMarcin, Not really. Neon is Ubuntu LTS based so stability is solid and because they roll the KDE stack the performance gets improvements often.15:15
lubot<MichaelTun> openSUSE is known for being a Plasma distro but it's not. Their default was switched to GNOME years ago and most of their devs are GNOME users now.15:16
lubot<brli7848> If you're capable of dealing with cli installing, Arch provides the most vanilla Plasma packages out there18:55
lubot<brli7848> Give Chakralinux a try if you prefer some theming and tweaked kde with gui installer18:57
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> I typically use Arch, but I see almost no differences between Arch+kde and kde neon/kubuntu :D19:00
agaidam4sk1n: arch has the higher geek rating - whatever that means19:14
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [lubuntu-manual] m4sk1n pushed 1 new commit to master: https://git.io/vNFA120:31
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- lubuntu-manual/master 16c8cb7 Marcin Mikołajczak: minor fix in Polish translation20:31
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> agaida: I’m using arch because it’s the stablest distro basing on my experience…20:43
lubot<MichaelTun> @MikolajczakMarcin, there are tons of differences20:51
lubot<MichaelTun> @MikolajczakMarcin, arch + stable is pretty much a contradiction20:51
lubot<MichaelTun> @brli7848, Neon is vanilla as well20:52
lubot<MichaelTun> though to be fair, vanilla Plasma is not really a selling point imo20:52
agaidanope - i prefer a rocksolid and stable sid20:52
agaidabut that should not be the point in #l-devel:D20:54
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [cute-software-center] m4sk1n opened pull request #2: fix typo and add plurals handling (master...master) https://git.io/vNbTW21:38
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> @MichaelTun, Arch stable is stabler than debian stable for me, I know that’s strange21:40
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> @MichaelTun, I mean in terms of desktop, performance etc.21:41
agaidam4sk1n: debian stable is about to be stable - and not about running stable - thats a major difference21:44
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> That’s just my experience21:46
lubot<MikolajczakMarcin> Maybe the way I use my OS matters21:46
agaidaand again - think about different meanings of stable21:47
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [cute-software-center] tsimonq2 pushed 1 new commit to master: https://git.io/vNbIV21:49
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- cute-software-center/master ca3672b Marcin Mikołajczak: fix typo and add plurals handling (#2)...21:49
lubot<MichaelTun> @agaida, I was referring to the development term vs performance and usage21:51
lubot<MichaelTun> Honestly I hate the term used in development21:51
lubot<MichaelTun> I vote for Static instead21:51
lubot<tsimonq2> I'm Dead Horseing this convo, not what this chan is for :)21:54
agaidaok, lets talk about the state of lubuntu-next :P22:15
lubot<MichaelTun> @tsimonq2, We can discuss Lubuntu  using the term Static instead of Stable for releases :)22:55
lubot<tsimonq2> @MichaelTun, hahahaha22:55
lubot<VikingRedwolf> I want to talk about my cat 😐23:00
lubot<Wolfenprey> (Document) http://vps.tsimonq2.net//file_3688.mp423:08
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @Wolfenprey, 😃23:13
