[01:45] good morning [02:06] What old, now-EOL version of Ubuntu did you think was the best? What feature made it really stand out to you? [02:06] 8.04, artwork [02:07] (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.) [02:09] arraybolt3[m], do you dislike snaps? [02:09] 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] I 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 was [02:11] 10.04 Ubuntu - from Kubuntu 9.04 -- pre upstart ! [02:12] PRE-upstart?!? Wow, didn't know there was anything before Upstart! [02:12] (In Ubuntu anyway - I know there were other init systems, but I thought it was Upstart and then systemd.) [02:13] guiverc: Was that kind of like Ubuntu MATE? [02:13] MATE didn't yet exist, but for sure YEP... [02:15] (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) [02:17] Which ubuntu version started with simultaniously download updates and install from dvd? [02:17] epic [02:24] * 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) [07:53] hey. [07:54] what's your favorite thing about Ubuntu? compared to other linuxes or OS? [07:56] (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) === coconut_ is now known as coconut
