[05:31] <linuxburn> hello this working?
[05:32] <linuxburn> I am having trouble installing Kubuntu next to Windows
[05:32] <linuxburn> Can you not dual-boot kubuntu with a single drive?
[05:37] <linuxburn> ...hello?
[05:47] <linuxburn> am I even connected...
 yes, you can dualboot while having Windows and Kubuntu on the same drive. Just install the Windows first, shring its partition so the Kubuntu can fit next to it on the drive. And than install Kubuntu into the unallocated space on that same drive. (re @IrcsomeBot: <linuxburn> Can you not dual-boot kubuntu with a single drive?)
 Pixel they are long gone
[14:02] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[17:05] <user|14> Hey people
[17:05] <user|14> Kubuntu or Kde Neon?
[17:06] <Maik> user|14: we do not discuss that matter here since the channel is only for Kubuntu support
[17:07] <Maik> either ask in the offtopic channel or #linux
[17:07] <cbreak> user|14: kubuntu works ok.
[17:07] <user|14> Okay, LTS or latest? I need absolutely minimum bugs, I will use it for studying computer science and programming etc.
[17:07] <Maik> user|14: LTS
[17:07] <user|14> Is the app store in kubuntu snap only?
[17:07] <cbreak> I'd recommend 22.04 if you have time to wait that long
[17:07] <Maik> user|14: no
[17:07] <cbreak> "Discover" can download apt stuff too.
[17:08] <cbreak> and you can use CLI apt as well
[17:08] <user|14> Are any snaps installed by default in kubuntu?
[17:08] <Maik> cbreak: he could install 20.04.4 and upgrade later to 22.04
[17:08] <cbreak> Maik: possible.
[17:08] <user|14> No worries, I am downloading the current LTS version
[17:08] <Maik> user|14: on 20.04.4 there are no snaps
[17:08] <user|14> Oh, thank god!
[17:09] <Maik> on 22.04 however there will be
[17:09] <cbreak> I think the ubuntu people had the dumb plan to switch firefox to snap :(
[17:09] <Maik> Firefox
[17:09] <user|14> Ah shoot
[17:09] <Maik> cbreak: that was mozilla's call
[17:09] <cbreak> snaps work nicely for some things in my experience
[17:09] <cbreak> but I don't want to use it for FF unless I have to :(
[17:09] <user|14> They work nice for developers, not for users
[17:09] <cbreak> Maik: too bad :(
[17:10] <cbreak> I use lxd via snap, works fine
[17:10] <cbreak> and slack, also works ok
[17:10] <Maik> i don't really care, Firefox snap works ok :)
[17:10] <user|14> I care, as my ssd space is around 120 gb free rn with windows
[17:10] <user|14> I need to partition some space
[17:10] <cbreak> as long as it's possible to use addons, to open files in the file system, and to disable that worthless tab bar, and enable the menu bar, I'm fine
[17:11] <cbreak> user|14: you can not use a separate SSD for it?
[17:11] <user|14> How much should I allocate to the linux parition if I need some space in windows to make sure it works fine, although I do not need any more software in windows
[17:11] <user|14> No, not in my budget
[17:11] <Maik> ssd's are cheap these days
[17:11] <user|14> Although I have a 1TB internal hdd too, on which i store passive files.
[17:12] <cbreak> my ubuntu system dataset takes up 43 GB. But I installed a ton of software. (This doesn't include storage used by lxd or docker)
[17:13] <user|14> Will 70GBs be fine for kubuntu? For development related stuff mainly and ebooks etc?
[17:13] <user|14> Or should I do 80GBs
[17:13] <cbreak> ebooks take no space at all...
[17:13] <user|14> ?
[17:13] <Maik> even 60GB should do
[17:13] <cbreak> development: depends on what you develop
[17:13] <cbreak> unreal engine stuff can take dozens of GB alone for the engines and media
[17:13] <user|14> Maybe I will develop .NET apps
[17:14] <user|14> No , I will not develop games
[17:14] <user|14> for noe
[17:14] <user|14> now
[17:14] <user|14> Webapps and desktop apps
[17:14] <user|14> Flask, React, .NET etc.
[22:55] <m> hello
[22:55] <m> how konversation works ?
[22:59] <tomreyn> not like this
