[18:21] <LargePrime> hi.  looing to install a snap of vlc.  do i need to purge first?
[18:26] <tomreyn> LargePrime: quoting the channel topic: "#ubuntu for support and discussion of Trusty-Bionic "
[18:26] <LargePrime> tomreyn, right.  on bionic.  just want to switch to a snap, and not sure what i need to do
[18:28] <LargePrime> since the ubuntu packages are always old
[19:00] <tsimonq2> LargePrime: Actually, Bionic is keeping pretty consistent with the VLC point releases, and Xenial updates are planned to.
[19:00] <tsimonq2> *too
[19:00] <tsimonq2> I wouldn't be too quick to jump ship unless you absolutely, always, need the latest.
