[03:40] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[07:24] <ducasse> good morning
[08:01] <guiverc> G'day folks... in case you see/hear issues about Lubuntu infrastructure (manual, discourse, phab, in fact any lubuntu.me page/link)... we started a move a number of hours ago that is expected to many hours/days. 
[15:24] <donnie> anyone have anything cool i can try in ubuntu. I work in IT but thats 99 percent windows with hardly any linux so i wanted to try something new. I dont mind command line and i'm not afraid to break the system. I'm of the mind that if i break it too bad there is someone that can fix it or i can just reinstall. 
[15:25] <donnie> I backup data to a nas so i wont lose anything. 
[15:25] <leftyfb> donnie: if you were to ask me, bash, lxd and ansible
[15:26] <tomreyn> maybe apt, too
[15:26] <donnie> see I know what those are but i've never used them very much. 
[15:26] <tomreyn> windows 11 will finally have something kind of like package management integrated by default
[15:27] <tomreyn> but just for additional software, not the OS itself
[15:27] <donnie> i've used windows 11 it's kinda annoying really. it moved everything around and hid some stuff from the everyday user. 
[15:27] <donnie> makes it very difficult from and IT perspective
[15:27] <tomreyn> this wasn't supposed to be a recommendation
[15:28] <tomreyn> more like "20 years later they almost arrived there, too"
[15:28] <donnie> tomreyn, sorry about that
[15:28] <tomreyn> heh, no need to be sorry there
[15:30] <donnie> so I gotta ask. Mint or Ubuntu?
[15:31] <tomreyn> that's up to you, we really only disucss ubuntu on ubuntu channels usually
[15:31] <donnie> I used mint before but I find it's not quite different enough from windows. I found it hard to change the themes too. but that might have been a me problem
[15:32] <donnie> that makes sense. never thought of it that way. I keep forgetting that mint is it's own thing and not just a ubuntu that looks different. 
[15:33] <donnie> so is there anything that i should do for a new install that isn't on the how to guides? 
[15:33] <donnie> I've googled a bit but usually it's the normal update stuff
[15:34] <leftyfb> donnie: it's all personal preference and use case
[15:35] <donnie> makes sense. 
[15:35] <donnie> i'm using it for an everyday computer
