arraybolt3[m]What old, now-EOL version of Ubuntu did you think was the best? What feature made it really stand out to you?02:06
oerheks8.04, artwork02:06
arraybolt3[m](Mine was 16.04 - I used ChaletOS (a Xubuntu unofficial derivative) which was a beautiful operating system. I liked the non-Snap LXD app since it was easier to make work with certain things, and I loved how snappy and responsive the system was versus any other OS I had used up until then.)02:07
oerheksarraybolt3[m], do you dislike snaps?02:09
arraybolt3[m]No, I like Snaps, but trying to passthrough your GPU into an LXD container is doable when you aren't using LXD in a Snap. Not so doable when Snaps are involved (learned that one the hard way...).02:09
guivercI liked 11.04 Ubuntu Desktop; GNOME 2.26 or something; I didn't use the default Unity DE though but the GNOME 2 flashback/classic or whatever it was02:09
Bashing-om10.04 Ubuntu - from Kubuntu 9.04 -- pre upstart !02:11
arraybolt3[m]PRE-upstart?!? Wow, didn't know there was anything before Upstart!02:12
arraybolt3[m](In Ubuntu anyway - I know there were other init systems, but I thought it was Upstart and then systemd.)02:12
arraybolt3[m]guiverc: Was that kind of like Ubuntu MATE?02:13
guivercMATE didn't yet exist, but for sure YEP... 02:13
guiverc(there is a MATE config that's pretty close anyway; part way between the GNOME 2 in 11.04 & 11.10... MATE being closer than 11.10 was)02:15
oerheksWhich ubuntu version started with simultaniously download updates and install from dvd?02:17
oerheksepic02:17
* guiverc has no idea about downloading updates during install.. I always installed [older releases] offline as I'd post-install switch to a quota-free mirror and thus could then update & add the desktop(s) I wanted (quota free)02:24
arg_hey.07:53
arg_what's your favorite thing about Ubuntu? compared to other linuxes or OS?07:54
arg_(for me, it's that it is widely spread, bigger community/forum, and sort of easy access, for config the desktop i mean...though that last part is also true for most linux distrib nowdays id say)07:56
