[17:37] <OvenWerks> Muon looks like a good replacement for synaptic. it offers all of synaptics plus sides but runs as the user except when it needs to install.
[17:48] <ErichEickmeyer> OvenWerks: I just responded to your email, and TL;DR: couldn't agree with you more.
[17:48] <ErichEickmeyer> And, agreed. Muon is blowing Synaptic out of the water anymore.
[18:00] <OvenWerks> ErichEickmeyer: I am not so sure about a ubuntustudio-next option, I think it is too much work.
[18:01] <ErichEickmeyer> Probably. I just threw it out there and tried to see if it would stick.
[18:01] <ErichEickmeyer> I'm expecting a negative email from Ralf any minute.
[18:02] <OvenWerks> (On both of our's)
[18:02] <ErichEickmeyer> Yep.
[18:03] <OvenWerks> ErichEickmeyer: do you know if there is a way to set the size of konsole in charactors instead of pixels from the commandline?
[18:04] <OvenWerks> I use two sizes quite frequently
[18:04] <OvenWerks> This one is 90X40 and the rest are 80X25
[18:05] <ErichEickmeyer> Probably not from the command line, but you could make separate profiles and specify those from the command line.
[18:05] <ErichEickmeyer> One profile at one size, the other at the other size.
[18:32] <OvenWerks> ErichEickmeyer: Ah, and then choose a profile from the CLI
[19:25] <OvenWerks> Another thing I am wondering is if there is a best image format to use for our backdrops.
[19:26] <OvenWerks>  the new BD are jpg but the current ones are png and I think the last contest had png as the target as well.
[19:27] <OvenWerks> I know that jpg is "lossy" but I also know that the BD gets resized to fit the screen which is also a lossy process or at least it adds artifacts to the image.
[19:29] <OvenWerks> In other words I am wondering if we should back out the last commit in -settings and use png only backdrops at least as default.
[21:30] <ErichEickmeyer> OvenWerks: I'd try to move toward .png. It has decent compression and it seems to be more universal.
