| Croran | Unity is better than Gnome. Discuss. | 19:42 |
| akem | So i compiled a kernel some time ago, then a more recent one lately (both using make menuconfig etc), and i wanted to remove the old one of course, but looks like there is nothing to do it automaticly, no "make uninstall" or whatever? that's strange. So i just removed the files manually. | 19:43 |
| daftykins | sounds fine, might want to update grub though | 19:44 |
| akem | Yep. | 19:44 |
| Groar | oh | 19:45 |
| Croran | :) | 19:45 |
| Croran | https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-about-Canonical-replacing-Unity-with-Gnome-in-Ubuntu-18-04/answer/Daniel-Brown-1088 | 19:45 |
| Croran | you didn't find any issues similar to those when you switched Groar? | 19:45 |
| Groar | Yeah, I prefered the bubbles over the new notifications, for example. Also, the title bar and menus waste so much space | 19:46 |
| Croran | and when you click something that opens a 'sub window' you can no longer click the main window? | 19:46 |
| Croran | nor even see what's underneath. | 19:46 |
| Groar | yeah, absolutely agree | 19:47 |
| akem | I think you can still install Unity if you want it. But Gnome is not bad. But i like LXQT even more(the DE shipped with LUbuntu). | 19:47 |
| Groar | I'm thinking about moving to KDE | 19:47 |
| Croran | KDE was unstable when i last used it, and ugly. | 19:47 |
| daftykins | kubuntu as a whole is nice, almost fully functional for me out of the box | 19:47 |
| Groar | well, I used it when KDE 4 was released for the last time | 19:47 |
| Croran | akem: yes installing unity still works fine in 18.04. not officially supported though :( | 19:48 |
| Groar | and.. | 19:48 |
| Groar | KDE 4 was fine, but unstable. But again, I used it when it was released | 19:48 |
| Groar | it wasn't ugly though | 19:48 |
| Croran | groar: you don't mind all the white/blue alternate colored rows in the file manager and music library and such | 19:48 |
| Croran | croran: it looks like something an accountant would like | 19:49 |
| Croran | lol. talking to myself. | 19:49 |
| Groar | Croran: well, I don't care about it tbh | 19:49 |
| Groar | I think that's made to make it easier to read a lot of lines | 19:50 |
| Croran | groar: i like to be able to hit the meta key, type in a partial application name and hit enter and have it start. | 19:50 |
| Croran | groar: as i recall, kde required some third-party plugin to even enable a 'search' | 19:50 |
| Groar | search apps? | 19:50 |
| Groar | or files? | 19:51 |
| Croran | groar: apps | 19:51 |
| Groar | oh, normally I used the menus | 19:51 |
| Groar | otherwise I'd be using command-line, create a shortcut and click over it haha | 19:51 |
| Croran | groar: right, i never use the menu. i put my 90% used apps in the dock and the rest i hit meta, type the name, and enter. | 19:51 |
| daftykins | krunner is invoked with alt+space and can be used to launch anything | 19:51 |
| Groar | yeah so unity fits for you | 19:51 |
| Croran | daftykins: thanks. can be remapped to meta key without issues? | 19:52 |
| daftykins | i imagine you mean super by that | 19:52 |
| daftykins | i don't personally believe in fighting defaults | 19:52 |
| Croran | daftykins: yes | 19:52 |
| daftykins | though i was a bit frustrated since alt+space's original use is something i use | 19:53 |
| Croran | daftykins: me neither usually, but certain keyboard shortcuts i've used so much that i don't want to change. | 19:54 |
| Croran | daftykins: eg. i use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in vim | 19:54 |
| Croran | gvim, rather. | 19:55 |
| daftykins | i only know of copy and paste being different on macOS :D | 19:55 |
| daftykins | a truly horrible OS | 19:56 |
| Croran | daftkins: well gvim default is like "+yy or some nonsense | 19:56 |
| daftykins | ah, life is too short for text editors you have to learn, in my book | 19:57 |
| Croran | well don't get me wrong. i still think gvim is a net win for saving life. | 19:57 |
| Croran | just the ability to select text 'columns' is a big one. | 19:58 |
| Groar | https://askubuntu.com/questions/449651/how-do-i-enable-wobbly-windows >> sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins || I'm amazed 3D cube and wobbly windows are still available in Ubuntu | 20:02 |
| daftykins | i'm amazed anyone still wants them | 20:02 |
| Groar | haha | 20:02 |
| Groar | I want them :D | 20:03 |
| Croran | groar: haha. my fav is the compizconfig 'commands' plugin for keyboard shortcuts. | 20:03 |
| Groar | time to have dinner | 20:05 |
| Groar | have fun guys | 20:06 |
| Croran | you too | 20:06 |
