| qjsgkem | hi! (maybe) stupid Q: I want to use an old (2013) laptop for videoconferencing over the next few months, on xubuntu. I value stability over features. should I rather go with 18.04 or 20.04? | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| Maik | qjsgkem: 20.04 because 18.04 is going EOL in April 2021 | 01:17 |
| qjsgkem | Maik: yeah, I saw that. I had been using 20.04 on an external disk, but that installation died a horrible death yesterday morning, suspecting usb cable issue. | 01:18 |
| Maik | qjsgkem: is it a 64 bit laptop? | 01:18 |
| qjsgkem | yup | 01:19 |
| Maik | good, because 20.04 is 64 bit only | 01:19 |
| Maik | :) | 01:19 |
| qjsgkem | yeah, I saw that, too:) is anybody seriously vidconfing on a 32 bit machine? | 01:20 |
| Bashing-om | qjsgkem: I am running xubuntu (core install) 20.04 on old dual core Athlon system (2007) with no issues. | 01:20 |
| qjsgkem | sounds painful^^Wlike a challenge | 01:20 |
| qjsgkem | I had hoped to have a bigger M2 built in before install (now 128G), but thanks to lockdown I have no idea when my computer shop will reopen:) I built up all my desktops, but my sausage fingers were not built for thin laptops. | 01:23 |
| qjsgkem | so I will just have to try after xmas. next conf not due before Jan 6, but lockdown will last until *at least* Jan 10. imvho. | 01:25 |
| qjsgkem | thanks! | 01:25 |
| qjsgkem | for most uses I run NetBSD (historical raisins), but I decided to avoid trying to convince zoom and friends under linux emulation there | 01:26 |
| qjsgkem | +into running. eww. I lack caffeine. | 01:28 |
| qjsgkem | good night! | 02:08 |
