| studio-devel145 | Hi, I use LyX for editing novels | 12:35 |
| studio-devel145 | I wonder why it's not part of Ubuntu Studio | 12:36 |
| studio-devel145 | It may fit well in the Publishing section, together with LaTeX | 12:36 |
| studio-devel145 | I was considering moving out from Lubuntu and adopt Ubuntu Studio | 12:37 |
| * OvenWerks likes lyx too... but doesn't write enough to know. | 14:59 | |
| Eickmeyer | Do we have something installed by default that duplicates its functionality? | 15:06 |
| OvenWerks | I think scrbus is the closest, but no latex output. | 15:11 |
| OvenWerks | The thing is Lyx is a one thing deal. It only does latex and nothing else (last I looked) | 15:12 |
| OvenWerks | Latex used to be the only way a publisher would accept a book but self publishing straight to printer is mostly pdf I think now | 15:13 |
| OvenWerks | latex (and therefore Lyx) is still the top dog in math representation and I know my son used it in university. | 15:14 |
| Eickmeyer | I'm not comfortable adding it to the seed this close to beta (and release), so perhaps once EE opens, we can add it. | 15:18 |
| Eickmeyer | Honestly, though, Lubuntu doesn't install Lyx by default either, so I don't understand the point they were trying to make. | 15:19 |
| Eickmeyer | (I'd also counterpoint that we're not competing with Lubuntu, but that's a different story) | 15:20 |
| studiobot | <azbulutlu> lyx and scribus are completely different tools for different purposes. lyx is really focused on writing etc … vs scribus is reallyabout pixelperfect layouts. | 15:39 |
| studiobot | <azbulutlu> e.g I use scribus primarily for visual portfolios and posters. which latex in general is not very useful for. on opposite end, for a long text heavy content scribus is not ideal as you need to place and divide text content into pages manually. :) | 15:40 |
| studiobot | <azbulutlu> closest equivalent actually is libreoffice. :) | 15:41 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks, @azbulutlu, what do you think about adding it for 19.10 to the seed? | 15:46 |
| studiobot | <azbulutlu> its not my place to decide. :) but it is a useful tool :) | 15:53 |
| studiobot | <Eickmeyer> @azbulutlu [its not my place to decide. :) but it is a useful tool :)], I was only asking for an opinion since I value your input. | 15:56 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Carla 2.1 might land with an AVB backend. | 16:05 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh, I'm sorry. Out of context. It'd be Jack2's next version. | 16:06 |
| OvenWerks | Carla with avb doesn't make sense, jackd2 does | 16:12 |
| OvenWerks | There was a talk at LAC and someone has created an avb backend for jackd2 so it is just a matter of adding it.... and making it useful | 16:13 |
| OvenWerks | The version they are using is 6sample buffering which eats cpu like crazy (according to one of the creators I was talking to) | 16:14 |
| OvenWerks | This makes sense as just using jackd at 16/2 starts pushing things too. | 16:15 |
| OvenWerks | This makes me wonder is this is part of Motu's problem with their AVB boxes. | 16:16 |
| Eickmeyer | It seems to be more of a pull request at this point, but it's looking good. | 16:20 |
