[10:31] <helpme> I have  a question
[10:31] <helpme> is it safe to run apt-get autoremove in lubuntu?
[17:00] <lubot> <FedeBosio> AFAIK, yes, it is.
[17:47] <RyuKurisu[m]> <lubot "<FedeBosio> AFAIK, yes, it is."> I agree.  It *should* only remove packages that aren't needed anymore, like old kernels or old dependencies.
[17:53] <krytarik> Mildly hilarious though to respond to a user who probably left like 7 hours ago already.. XD
[18:13] <lubot> <FedeBosio> Sure XD but whatever...
[18:17] <krytarik> I know, you're all doing it just for the records, right!? :P
[18:20] <tomreyn> karma++
[18:22] <krytarik> That reminds me of the Launchpad one, which became utterly irrelevant since they've started supporting Git.. >_>
[18:23] <krytarik> But yeah, somebody might look at the (back) log indeed!
[23:18] <cousteau> Hi!  What's the recommended way to test LXDE on a regular Ubuntu install?  Google suggests to install lxde / lubuntu-desktop / lubuntu-core, depending on who you ask.  I don't know the differences.
[23:19] <guiverc> cousteau, what release are you asking about?
[23:19] <cousteau> 20.04
[23:20] <guiverc> lubuntu-desktop on 20.04 refers to LXQt, ubuntu-core doesn't exist past 18.04/bionic
[23:20] <guiverc> LXDE isn't supported by Lubuntu after bionic/18.04
[23:21] <guiverc> s/ubuntu-core/lubuntu-core sorry
[23:22] <cousteau> I guess lxde installs only the desktop environment and nothing else, lubuntu-desktop provides all the default programs which come with the lubuntu install cd, and lubuntu-core is some midpoint that installs LXDE and some strictly recommended prog--
[23:22] <cousteau> --oh
[23:22] <guiverc> lubuntu-core was last produced in bionic (`rmadison lubuntu-core` to see releases if you have that enabled)
[23:22] <cousteau> ok so Lubuntu now uses LXQt instead of LXDE, so definitely I don't want to install `lxde`
[23:23] <cousteau> and the -core was for an older version
[23:23] <guiverc> Lubuntu 18.04 was the last release using LXDE, 18.10 on up are LXQt; Lubuntu-Next ceased as main Lubuntu is now LXQt
[23:23] <cousteau> ok so if I want to try Lubuntu without installing Lubuntu on a separate partition, the recommended way to go is to install `lubuntu-desktop`?
[23:24] <wxl> use a live cd
[23:25] <cousteau> ok, s/try/use/
[23:25] <cousteau> or rather, s/try Lubuntu/have a Lubuntu-like desktop/
[23:25] <wxl> well
[23:26] <wxl> which lubuntu do you want? what we do now or what we used to be?
[23:26] <guiverc> my system started as a Ubuntu desktop install, it has lubuntu-desktop added...  it's do-able yes,  but it's not as clean an experience
[23:26] <wxl> nope, ,not clean at all
[23:38] <cousteau> wxl, is "what you used to be" still achievable?  Or is it deprecated / unrecommended / unmaintained?
[23:38] <cousteau> in any case, I guess "what you do now" is the logical choice
[23:40] <cousteau> I guess if I want to have both ubuntu and lubuntu it makes more sense to install lubuntu-desktop on ubuntu than to have a separate partition with lubuntu, right?
[23:42] <cousteau> got to go, bye!  Thanks for the help :)
