[07:19] <marcoagpinto> Heya
[07:52] <ducasse> good morning
[13:22] <TJ-> Going to submit my kernel firmware patch for v5.16 to support the reduced initrd.img work I've been doing. Here's an overview using initramfs-tools with MODULES=most down to MODULES=dep with my PRUNE and FIRMWARE_LOADED on and off https://paste.debian.net/1217585/
[13:23] <TJ-> the patch affects the F=0 F=1 versions - quite a difference
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: cool, let us know the bug ID when you do
[14:10] <TJ-> next is to get my patches into initramfs-tools in Debian upstream
[18:45] <jcbjoe2021> Hi, sons windows computer takes about 6 mins to boot up then 10 mins to get to the desktop he doesn’t want to use it anymore I told him about Linux he said he will try it. Installed Ubuntu the kde which installed kubuntu. Kubuntu seems kinda slow to me. Should I go back to gnome and use gnome and install gnome tweaks to get everything kinda situated?
[18:46] <sarnold> what's the specs of the machine? it could be that a fast OS is just not in the cards for this computer
[18:47] <leftyfb> jcbjoe2021: did you try making sure you have the proper video drivers installed?
[18:47] <daftykins> strikes me as having the potential for a faulty HDD, query the SMART table for its' health status
[18:53] <jcbjoe2021> leftyfb: I just used the default whatever Ubuntu gave me. Is that wrong?
[18:54] <leftyfb> jcbjoe2021: open software and updates and go to drivers
[18:54] <jcbjoe2021> Ok leftyfb when I get home
[18:55] <leftyfb> jcbjoe2021: ok, please only ask for help when you have access to the machine for troubleshooting
[19:04] <cbreak> jcbjoe2021: I find kde faster than gnome here
[19:04] <cbreak> but there are much smaller / faster desktop environments for ubuntu
[19:05] <cbreak> like lubuntu or xubuntu https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours (haven't tried either myself)
[19:06] <daftykins> 1) system specs 2) hardware health
[19:07] <jcbjoe2021> Ok thanks leftyfb
[19:08] <cbreak> by default, ubuntu nowadays uses some gnome thing I think
