=== genii is now known as genii-core
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Is there somewhere documentation of why specific programs were selected as defaults and which alternatives were rejected?08:58
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I just encountered featherpad in a VM and it seems to be quite inferior to alternatives - I am curious is it reasonable to propose replacing it.08:58
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> I think part is dependencies and based only on qt stuff what other editors did you like better09:05
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> geany can show tabs/spaces and shows line number by default09:07
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> featherpad has no option to show tabs/spaces that I found, uses tabs in Python files intended with spaces and is not showing line number by default, even in code files09:07
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> (I switched to geany because I remember it from the first linux computer I used and is simpler to install than VSCodium)09:08
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> line numbers by default is in prefrences09:10
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Yes, but at least I expect code editor to have it enabled by default. In the same way as I expect text to not be white on white background.09:15
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> I mean I find that a thing that could be done in packaging for lubuntu default settings if we really want to09:16
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> given that would only fix it on new installs09:17
lubot[telegram] <aptghetto> Fortunately featherpad is a plain-text editor with syntax highlighting for some languages.09:24
lubot[telegram] <aptghetto> It is also very easy to enable line numbers.09:24
lubot[telegram] <aptghetto> And if this is not enough: open a bug report on the upstream project and it will be included automatically with the next packaged featherpad release.09:25
lubot[telegram] <teward001> remind me: the last 32bit Lubuntu release was...?15:46
lubot[telegram] <teward001> i believe it was the same time as Ubuntu dropped 32bit, no?15:46
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> 18.1015:47
lubot[telegram] <teward001> that's what I thought, thanks.15:47
lubot[telegram] <teward001> people on Ask Ubuntu said "I thought a few flavors had official 32bit images as recently as 20.04" but they're not the smartest people nor authorities.  I could pull my Lubuntu Council hat out on 'em but I'm lazy15:49
lubot[telegram] <teward001> and have enough things to worry about today first :P15:49
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> hahaha, no, the last one was 18.10, the first with lxqt and the last with 32 bits, the last with 32-bit support was 18.04 for being lts.15:55
