[00:42] <CrazyLikeAFox> Anybody familiar with radeon drivers?
[00:43] <CrazyLikeAFox> Them being broken seems to be the cause of my boot issues, and I attempted to reinstall them, and either failed at it, or just the default foss drivers aren't working
[17:48] <diogenes_> Hey guys, a theoretical question, what will happen to xubuntu if ubuntu goes away? for instance linux mint guys already have an answer, do you have one?
[17:51] <brainwash> diogenes_: what if Xfce dies?
[17:51] <diogenes_> brainwash, then (judging by its super slow development) it's gonna be the slowest death in the history
[17:52] <n-iCe>  Do you think Ubuntu will die?
[17:53] <n-iCe> Is not the most used and popular distro out there?
[17:53] <diogenes_> n-iCe, even the greatest starts in the universe die one day, but the question was not about what i think but what will happen to xubuntu then
[17:53] <diogenes_> stars*
[17:53] <n-iCe> Well, will die too
[17:53] <n-iCe> are you afraid?
[17:54] <n-iCe> will not happen any time soon
[17:54] <n-iCe> diogenes_: what distro do you use?
[17:54] <diogenes_> i have different ones on different PCs
[17:54] <diogenes_> there is no a main one
[17:55] <n-iCe> oh, I just use xubuntu
[17:58] <diogenes_> n-iCe, who could have thought that Linus Torvalds will decide to leave linux over night? so you see how things happen spontaneously.
[17:59] <ondondil> But he didn't leave Linux. He's taking a break just like he did when he created git.
[18:00] <diogenes_> this time it doesn't look like that but we'll seee
[18:00] <diogenes_> see*
[18:03] <ondondil> In the same email in which he stated that he's taking a break, he also wrote that he still wants to continue to work on Linux.
[18:04] <ondondil> Here's quote: "This is not some kind of "I'm burnt out, I need to just go away" break.  I'm not feeling like I don't want to continue maintaining Linux. Quite the reverse.  I very much do want to continue to do this project that I've been working on for almost three decades."
[23:09] <Wayward_Vagabond> Anybody have advice on reinstalling AMD radeon graphics drivers? They seem to have been broken before I upgraded to the current lts. The upgrade, and me attempting to reinstall them didn't fix it.
[23:09] <Wayward_Vagabond> Either I didn't get rid of everything, or the default FOSS drivers in synpatic aren't fully compatible- I can only boot atm if I add nomodeset to the options in grub
[23:11] <krytarik> Wayward_Vagabond: Please try to not employ people in multiple channels with your issue at the same time.
[23:12] <Wayward_Vagabond> Op, sorry
[23:12] <Wayward_Vagabond> Shoulda looked at the nick lists for overlap, but actually thinking now it'd be most of them
