[01:51] 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? [01:53] it wasn't always this quiet here [01:57] and i used to be a lot more involved [01:58] 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? [02:00] 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 [02:01] and that has trickled up into what you see [02:05] Hmmm did you really think less people are running Ubuntu on their machines now? [02:06] Haha i ask this from my android [02:08] case in point [02:10] But that only because i can't open my laptop now :) [02:16] phone, or tablet? [02:16] Phone [02:17] yeah, fewer people use tablets for anything now too [02:18] I want to try Ubuntu touch maybe on pine phone... [02:19] i ran it on a nexus5 for a bit [02:19] But i don't own a car so I'm very reliant on lyft... So i couldn't make a full switch.. [02:19] Yeah....? How was it? [02:21] it seemed to combine some of the irritating aspects of iOS with something ChromeOS-esque [02:21] from a UX perspective, that is [02:21] under the hood, it was more like android [02:24] btw, there is or was a kubuntu touch variant, too, and it aimed to be partially compatible with android apps === ryanjyoder_ is now known as ryanjyoder
