[01:45] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[02:06] <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] <oerheks> 8.04, artwork
[02:07] <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.)
[02:09] <oerheks> arraybolt3[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] <guiverc> 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] <Bashing-om> 10.04 Ubuntu - from Kubuntu 9.04 -- pre upstart !
[02:12] <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.)
[02:13] <arraybolt3[m]> guiverc: Was that kind of like Ubuntu MATE?
[02:13] <guiverc> MATE didn't yet exist, but for sure YEP... 
[02:15] <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)
[02:17] <oerheks> Which ubuntu version started with simultaniously download updates and install from dvd?
[02:17] <oerheks> 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] <arg_> hey.
[07:54] <arg_> what's your favorite thing about Ubuntu? compared to other linuxes or OS?
[07:56] <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)
