[01:09] <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?
[01:17] <Maik> qjsgkem: 20.04 because 18.04 is going EOL in April 2021
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <qjsgkem> yup
[01:19] <Maik> good, because 20.04 is 64 bit only
[01:19] <Maik> :)
[01:20] <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
[01:23] <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.
[01:25] <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!
[01:26] <qjsgkem> for most uses I run NetBSD (historical raisins), but I decided to avoid trying to convince zoom and friends under linux emulation there
[01:28] <qjsgkem> +into running. eww. I lack caffeine.
[02:08] <qjsgkem> good night!
