BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:40 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Hi! | 12:41 |
BluesKaj | hi Phil Linux | 12:41 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> I am happily using my Kubuntu 18.04.1 on two machines and will upgrade a Win7 machine of a friend later today! | 12:42 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> upgrade to Kubuntu 18.04.1 that is! | 12:43 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Which program/way would you use to get a bare metal install of Win7 into a vm? | 12:44 |
BluesKaj | Phil Linux is you friend familiar with linux? | 12:46 |
BluesKaj | your | 12:46 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> He was using Ubuntu Mate 18.10 for a while. When support ended I talked to him about the choice of going to Ubuntu Mate 18.04 or Kubuntu 18.04. | 12:47 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Kubuntu is easier to support for me because I use it myself. | 12:47 |
BluesKaj | Phil Linux, 18.10 ? that's a dev OS | 12:48 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> He is not a technical person at all, so figuring things out himself (and getting confused by the plethora of options) wont happen enyway. | 12:49 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @BluesKaj, I meaned 17.10. sorry. 😉 | 12:49 |

IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @Anarcho Taoist, Nice! | 12:49 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarcho Taoist> @Phil Linux, I am thinking as a print for a laptop sleeve. | 12:50 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> go for it! | 12:50 |
BluesKaj | not a VM user , I'm bare metal all the way, even if I have to dual boot, but I guess kvm and qemu are worth looking at | 12:53 |
IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @BluesKaj, thx! | 12:54 |
BluesKaj | Phil Linux and virtmanager for gui access | 12:56 |

IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> very nice indeed! | 13:16 |
jubo2 | y0, got a question. I got this one laptop that has only 4GB RAM and it is usable with Kubuntu 16.04 .. Should we expect it to stay usable if I upgrade it to 18.04 ? | 17:17 |
jubo2 | just need to keep the amount of tabs small and not run many programs simultaneously | 17:17 |
mparillo_ | For light browsing, office apps, watching video, 4GB of RAM is more than enough for me. Big compiles, video editing, gaming, running distros in a VM? No. | 17:25 |
jubo2 | ok. thanks for info mparillo_ | 17:48 |
jubo2 | I got 16GB on my own machine | 17:48 |
jubo2 | it rarely fills up even with heavy use | 17:48 |
jubo2 | the 4GB machine I gave to my friend | 17:48 |
