[03:38] good morning [06:12] good morning === arch1mede0 is now known as arch1mede [18:02] hey guys [18:02] hows everyone? [18:03] all well here thanks, and you? === pauljw_18 is now known as pauljw [19:42] Unity is better than Gnome. Discuss. [19:43] 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. [19:44] sounds fine, might want to update grub though [19:44] Yep. [19:45] oh [19:45] :) [19:45] https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-about-Canonical-replacing-Unity-with-Gnome-in-Ubuntu-18-04/answer/Daniel-Brown-1088 [19:45] you didn't find any issues similar to those when you switched Groar? [19:46] Yeah, I prefered the bubbles over the new notifications, for example. Also, the title bar and menus waste so much space [19:46] and when you click something that opens a 'sub window' you can no longer click the main window? [19:46] nor even see what's underneath. [19:47] yeah, absolutely agree [19:47] 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] I'm thinking about moving to KDE [19:47] KDE was unstable when i last used it, and ugly. [19:47] kubuntu as a whole is nice, almost fully functional for me out of the box [19:47] well, I used it when KDE 4 was released for the last time [19:48] akem: yes installing unity still works fine in 18.04. not officially supported though :( [19:48] and.. [19:48] KDE 4 was fine, but unstable. But again, I used it when it was released [19:48] it wasn't ugly though [19:48] groar: you don't mind all the white/blue alternate colored rows in the file manager and music library and such [19:49] croran: it looks like something an accountant would like [19:49] lol. talking to myself. [19:49] Croran: well, I don't care about it tbh [19:50] I think that's made to make it easier to read a lot of lines [19:50] 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] groar: as i recall, kde required some third-party plugin to even enable a 'search' [19:50] search apps? [19:51] or files? [19:51] groar: apps [19:51] oh, normally I used the menus [19:51] otherwise I'd be using command-line, create a shortcut and click over it haha [19:51] 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] krunner is invoked with alt+space and can be used to launch anything [19:51] yeah so unity fits for you [19:52] daftykins: thanks. can be remapped to meta key without issues? [19:52] i imagine you mean super by that [19:52] i don't personally believe in fighting defaults [19:52] daftykins: yes [19:53] though i was a bit frustrated since alt+space's original use is something i use [19:54] daftykins: me neither usually, but certain keyboard shortcuts i've used so much that i don't want to change. [19:54] daftykins: eg. i use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in vim [19:55] gvim, rather. [19:55] i only know of copy and paste being different on macOS :D [19:56] a truly horrible OS [19:56] daftkins: well gvim default is like "+yy or some nonsense [19:57] ah, life is too short for text editors you have to learn, in my book [19:57] well don't get me wrong. i still think gvim is a net win for saving life. [19:58] just the ability to select text 'columns' is a big one.

[20:05] time to have dinner [20:06] have fun guys [20:06] you too
