[07:28] <lotuspsychje> yeah all good over here
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> how about you knightwise
[07:35] <knightwise> Doin ok. Tired. I'm gonna be glad when the weekend comes along
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> great enjoy your weekend mate
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> hey Phruis
[16:40] <Phruis> hey
[16:41] <Phruis> anyone updated to the beta?
[16:41] <lotuspsychje> im testing 20.04 from the start of release
[16:41] <Phruis> any major issues from a plasma perspective?
[16:42] <Phruis> lotuspsychje, is it your daily driver or you have it on another hard drive?
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> Phruis: i have a spare laptop that i always help the LTS releases file bugs
[16:44] <ducasse> i'm also on focal, but not plasma
[16:44] <Phruis> lotuspsychje, thats a good way to do it
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> Phruis: BluesKaj is on 20.04 kubuntu
[16:46] <BluesKaj> hi Phruis, got a question about plasma on 20.04?
[16:48] <Phruis> hi, I was just curious if you had any issues
[16:49] <Phruis> im on all AMD hardware
[16:49] <BluesKaj> Phruis, not anything serious, there were some graphical artifacts a few weks ago, but they've disappeared after the last few upgrades
[16:50] <Phruis> thats good
[16:51] <BluesKaj> things are getting close to release so the bugs are becoming fewer
[16:51] <BluesKaj> it's quite stable atm
[16:51] <Phruis> Thats good..I will probably upgrade then and report bugs if I encounter them
[16:52] <BluesKaj> right
[17:02] <Ussat> whats eta on release ?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> 23rd
[17:03] <lotuspsychje> getting close now :p
[17:07] <pragmaticenigma> more accurately... there isn't a firm release date... it gets released when the bugs are worked out. That April 23rd date was set long before all the worlds current troubles started, and anything could happen during the last few weeks of testing
[17:07] <pragmaticenigma> *major bugs are worked out
[17:09] <Phruis> Do most canonical developers work in the same office?
[17:09] <pragmaticenigma> Canonical has offices all around the world, and many more community developers contributing
[17:10] <lotuspsychje> a alot of jobs also are homebased
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> Phruis: are you interested to apply for a job?
[17:11] <Phruis> I don't know if I would have the right skills for ubuntu development.  I know php, c++/Qt, python and other database related stuff.
[17:12] <Phruis> Would be cool to work on the project though
[17:12] <Phruis> right now I am a solo dev for a clinical trials company
[17:13] <Phruis> would be more fun to work with other developers
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> they renewed the canonical jobs website, might wanna take a look
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> https://canonical.com/careers
[17:14] <Phruis> I'll check it out thanks
[17:25] <Ussat> Hmm...checking it out myself
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> some interesting jobs, when you can work from home, opensource
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> with traveling on some times..
[17:28] <Groar> hi
[17:31] <Ussat> Ya, nothing there really for me atm
[17:32] <Groar> I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu on my laptop, but haven't used Linux on a Laptop since 2010
[17:32] <Phruis> Groar, much has improved since then
[17:33] <Groar> Phruis: Well, haven't used windows since 90's. I'm under Windows right now but the only reason is it came preinstalled, I'm moving tomorrow or on Sunday
[17:33] <Groar> Does it normally recognises webcams?
[17:34] <daftykins> prepare a USB flash drive, boot a live session and test - zero need to commit
[17:34] <Groar> yeah that's true
[17:35] <Ussat> or, VM
[17:35] <Groar> heh, my wife told me not to install linux because it's harder to use than windows
[17:35] <Groar> then I checked registry and... whoah
[17:35] <Ussat> which would be my choice
[17:35] <Groar> Ussat: I'm moving yes or yes. I'm simply trying to check what's going to fail or not to work properly to be ready to fix it
[17:35] <daftykins> VM won't help test the hardware of the system
[17:36] <daftykins> i think depending on your drive size, you should install alongside Windows to start with, then
[17:36] <daftykins> especially if this machine doesn't have wired LAN built in
[17:37] <Groar> I've been using Linux since Ubuntu first was released
[17:37] <Groar> I mean... since 2004
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> !4.04
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> !4.10
[17:38] <Groar> yeah, 4.10 had that name for a reason
[17:38] <Groar> worst Linux I've ever tried
[17:38] <Groar> still better than windows haha
[17:38] <Groar> From 7.04 on, Ubuntu was super good imo
[17:39] <Groar> So..., downloading Ubuntu 20.04 beta
[17:39] <Groar> let's see what happens tomorrow
[17:39] <daftykins> let's try and keep the childish OS wars remarks to a minimum
[18:19] <Phruis> upgrade appeared to go very smoothly
[18:20] <Phruis> one small issue though.  Several errors about missing firmware for amdgpu
[18:20] <Phruis> doesn't seem to have affected anything
