| slimguy | hey would it be bad to use ubuntu pro on lubuntu 22.04? | 02:28 |
|---|---|---|
| slimguy | sudo pro attach #(&#(((** etc | 02:28 |
| arraybolt3 | It's not supported by the Lubuntu team, but you can try it and I would guess things probably won't burst into flames. | 02:29 |
| slimguy | i mean would it override lubuntu packages or something | 02:31 |
| slimguy | if not I don't see the problem | 02:31 |
| arraybolt3 | No telling. Depends on what Canonical puts in the Pro archives. | 02:31 |
| slimguy | i like that their supposedly putting out updates faster, debian and normal ubuntu take forever to patch their packages and deploy updates | 02:32 |
| arraybolt3 | The Ubuntu community doesn't support Ubuntu Pro, as it is a proprietary service. We have no control over what will happen if you use it, or what they do with it. | 02:32 |
| slimguy | kk makes sense | 02:32 |
| arraybolt3 | Still, if you want to try it, there's nothing stopping you. If it works, great. You might try it in a VM first to make sure that it doesn't mess anything up. | 02:33 |
| slimguy | rn after a lubuntu update it says "these packages have security updates which you can only get with ubuntu pro!" | 02:39 |
| slimguy | lol | 02:39 |
| slimguy | not even joking | 02:40 |
| arraybolt3 | Yeah, that's a known issue that we're waiting on to get fixed. | 02:40 |
| arraybolt3 | (The updates to advertise Ubuntu Pro were applied a bit too broadly :P) | 02:40 |
| slimguy | wuts the cheapest thing i can put lubuntu on | 02:45 |
| slimguy | found some lenovo laptops on sale or $150 or so | 02:45 |
| slimguy | maybe there's some SBC that's cheaper | 02:45 |
| slimguy | maybe a used desktop or somethin off craigslist | 02:45 |
| arraybolt3 | I've put Lubuntu on ~$70 Chromebooks off eBay before. | 02:49 |
| arraybolt3 | You have to mod the firmware to get them to boot Lubuntu, and it only works on certain Chromebooks, but it works well in my experience. | 02:49 |
| slimguy | lol i did that once and my laptop caught on fire | 02:54 |
| slimguy | something where the right speaker would spark up if using the wrong driver | 02:56 |
| slimguy | probably my fault but got scared of repurposing chromebooks after that | 02:56 |
| arraybolt3 | Grief, I thought that was a joke at first :P | 02:57 |
| aiyagari | Asus C423 with Mr Chromebook firmware works but need to keep speakers at < 10% | 15:12 |
