[02:28] <slimguy> hey would it be bad to use ubuntu pro on lubuntu 22.04?
[02:28] <slimguy>  sudo pro attach #(&#(((** etc
[02:29] <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.
[02:31] <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.
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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.
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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)
[02:45] <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
[02:49] <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.
[02:54] <slimguy> lol i did that once and my laptop caught on fire
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <arraybolt3> Grief, I thought that was a joke at first :P
[15:12] <aiyagari> Asus C423 with Mr Chromebook firmware works but need to keep speakers at < 10%
