[00:52] <VIA> hi all
[00:52] <VIA> all of a sudden im getting no audio output at all
[00:53] <VIA> funny enough (to me) the 'front center' sound mentioned on this site; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting .. plays 
[00:54] <VIA> lmao now sound seems to be back on
[00:54] <VIA> im loving it o_o
[22:33] <craigbass76> Eickmeyer, Hey. So Plasma it is, these days?
[22:34] <Eickmeyer[m]> craigbass76: Yep, it's been that way for almost 18 months. Our first LTS with Plasma is coming out in about a month.
[22:34] <craigbass76> That's a honed down version of KDE?
[22:34] <Eickmeyer[m]> No. Plasma is the DE made by KDE.
[22:36] <craigbass76> What was the rationale for moving off XFCE? I don't care one way or another, just curious.
[22:37] <Eickmeyer[m]> craigbass76: You can read about it in the 20.04 release announcement: https://ubuntustudio.org/2020/04/ubuntu-studio-20-04-lts-released/
[22:37] <Eickmeyer[m]> It's even more true now than it was 2 years ago.
[22:38] <Eickmeyer[m]> And don't mind the distorted screenshots, it was written with an old version of the website.
[22:41] <craigbass76> Any idea how it weighs in resource-wise? I know the last few versions of XFCE haven't felt too lightweight, compared to how they used to be (up against GNOME and KDE)
[22:42] <craigbass76> LXDE has been my latest "computer that requires a walker" DE
[22:48] <Eickmeyer[m]> The article covers that as well. From what corrinado testified the other day, is that the performance benefits of Ubuntu Studio were not tied to Xfce.
[22:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> In fact, per my usage, not even GNOME is very resource-intensive anymore.
[23:45] <OvenWerks> craigbass76: There are lots of settings that can turn off the highresource users. I am finding that software checking and installing causes me xruns on any low latency.
