[03:29] <IrcsomeBot> <Christoshaju> Ohh
[12:40] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:41] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> Hi!
[12:41] <BluesKaj> hi Phil Linux
[12:42] <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!
[12:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> upgrade to Kubuntu 18.04.1 that is!
[12:44] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> Which program/way would you use to get a bare metal install of Win7 into a vm?
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Phil Linux is you friend familiar with linux?
[12:46] <BluesKaj> your
[12:47] <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.
[12:48] <BluesKaj> Phil Linux, 18.10 ? that's a dev OS
[12:49] <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!
[12:50] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarcho Taoist> @Phil Linux, I am thinking as a print for a laptop sleeve.
[12:50] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> go for it!
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> @BluesKaj, thx!
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Phil Linux and virtmanager for gui access

[13:16] <IrcsomeBot> <Phil Linux> very nice indeed!
[17:17] <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
[17:25] <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.
[17:48] <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
