| ryanjyoder | Hi all! I just started following this channel/community. I have to admit it's a bit quieter than i expected. :D so before i started spamming you all with stuff, i was wondering what are the reason people joined this channel? Maybe it sounds like a dumb question but just curious about people's motivations. Are most people using Ubuntu professionally? Or as a hobby? | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| DonkeyHotei | it wasn't always this quiet here | 01:53 |
| DonkeyHotei | and i used to be a lot more involved | 01:57 |
| ryanjyoder | What do you think is driving that? Just a natural ebb and flow? Or a changing natural of online communities in general? Ie proximity is not as important as it used to be? | 01:58 |
| DonkeyHotei | i attribute the quieting down in large part to the fact that fewer and fewer average people use computer desktops at all anymore except if their job makes them do so | 02:00 |
| DonkeyHotei | and that has trickled up into what you see | 02:01 |
| ryanjyoder | Hmmm did you really think less people are running Ubuntu on their machines now? | 02:05 |
| ryanjyoder | Haha i ask this from my android | 02:06 |
| DonkeyHotei | case in point | 02:08 |
| ryanjyoder | But that only because i can't open my laptop now :) | 02:10 |
| DonkeyHotei | phone, or tablet? | 02:16 |
| ryanjyoder | Phone | 02:16 |
| DonkeyHotei | yeah, fewer people use tablets for anything now too | 02:17 |
| ryanjyoder | I want to try Ubuntu touch maybe on pine phone... | 02:18 |
| DonkeyHotei | i ran it on a nexus5 for a bit | 02:19 |
| ryanjyoder | But i don't own a car so I'm very reliant on lyft... So i couldn't make a full switch.. | 02:19 |
| ryanjyoder | Yeah....? How was it? | 02:19 |
| DonkeyHotei | it seemed to combine some of the irritating aspects of iOS with something ChromeOS-esque | 02:21 |
| DonkeyHotei | from a UX perspective, that is | 02:21 |
| DonkeyHotei | under the hood, it was more like android | 02:21 |
| DonkeyHotei | btw, there is or was a kubuntu touch variant, too, and it aimed to be partially compatible with android apps | 02:24 |
