[20:51] RikMills: I saw your question about installer in -devel and wondered if the discussion would be easier in here? [20:52] since you are sort of alone in devel/packaging altho possibly erich would help with Cala [20:52] since they are using it now in -studio [20:52] it's sort of up to you to choose, right? [20:52] which one is more work for you? [20:53] Hi [20:53] I didn't see the message in Devel, I'll see if I can find it [20:55] I guess the question is for the future: calamares, or the new Ubuntu installer ??? [20:55] my vote is cala but I'm not doing the work [21:26] I think we need to have an understanding about features, and the OEM functions of the new Ubuntu Installer. For me I think Calamares should be very seriously considered, it has ongoing support and dedicated community, which is a very valuable asset. [21:56] indeed [21:56] I think that erich is working on the OEM stuff since it is needed for his job [21:56] and for the Focus [21:57] I was hoping that Sys76 would go that way but they wrote their own installer [21:57] I did read some posts in the Calamares release notes, they have some functionality for OEM [21:57] I wonder what slimbook etc. use? [21:58] the neon team surely know [21:59] Hmmm good point. [22:04] I get why there are multiple installers but goodness [22:04] instead of multiplying , why not collaborate? [22:05] and iterate [22:21] Completely agree, I think that's the way to go [22:24] should I invite erich in here? [22:24] I'll wait for @RikMills to speak up [22:25] and I think it's beer o'clock for him [22:25] :-) [22:25] Oooo Beers O'Clock what a good idea [22:25] @tsimonq2 speak up if you wanna [22:25] lol [22:26] ttyl @Sick_Rimmit [22:26] {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{[hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} [22:26] Nothing to really say, Cala us a solid choice and I will help if I can. [22:26] *is [22:26] {{hugs}} see you @Valoriez [22:27] how are you, tsimonq2? [22:27] frozen like a popsicle? [22:28] Oh for sure heh :) otherwise I'm doing well, thanks. I'm trying a beard out again and it's actually looking decent this time [22:28] nice [22:28] BeardySimon [22:29] One of my friends told me today that I look like Tony Stark from a distance. No complaints here ;) [22:29] HA! [22:29] wouldn't it be fun to have his toys? [22:29] (The weight loss contributes to that, I'm 70 lbs down from when you saw me last.) [22:29] wow [22:29] Oh yes. Definitely. [22:29] you've been active [22:30] Diet is everything, exercise just keeps me happy :) [22:30] how's college going? [22:30] completely sick of the online? [22:30] 100x over. [22:31] february is the hardest month every year [22:31] good damn thing it's the shortest one [22:32] flowers blooming here; snowdrops [22:32] but also primroses and Christmas rose [22:33] spring is coming! [22:33] I have almost got Daffs, maybe another week [22:33] YaY! [22:33] and people are getting vaccinated [22:33] Right! [22:33] And yes [22:33] so I think we're moving ahead [22:33] I hope we soon begin shipping vaccines to poor countries [22:34] and sort of right the ship [22:34] very much hope [22:34] it's been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong yer [22:51] @valorie, perhaps, but not tonight 😴
