zxddoes xubuntu 20.04 have same end of life support as ubuntu 20.04 ?10:46
ravageubuntu flavours to not get support through the complete LTS support cycle10:47
oerheksxubuntu 3 years, ubuntu and server 5 years10:47
ravageso for flavors just update when the next LTS is available10:48
ravagebut that is a good thing to do anyway10:48
zxdbut what's the difference between installing ubuntu and replacing it with xfce desktop environment ? xubuntu is not maitaned by the same people of ubuntu ?10:48
zxdmaintained10:48
lotuspsychjezxd: flavour desktops can be installed ontop another ubuntu base for several purposes10:50
lotuspsychjelike you can install xubuntu-desktop ontop ubuntu desktop for example10:50
ravageofficial flavors are recognized by Ubuntu but are not necessarily maintained by the same people. usually a smaller team. thats why shorter support10:51
lotuspsychjelogout, and login to your flavour desktop of choice10:51
ravagethe core packages are the same10:51
ravageand those also get the full support10:51
guiverczxd, re: flavor support; maybe useful is the `ubuntu-security-status` command; it was written about on this post I wrote (https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/lubuntu-20-04-lts-is-nearing-its-eol-end-of-life/4087) warning of lubuntu's approaching EOL; the box I used includes `xubuntu-desktop` too... ie. Xfce packages will be EOL but base Ubuntu 20.04 system still gets security fixes etc12:10

leftyfbEickmeyer: I thought you were an op?20:29
Eickmeyerleftyfb: Not in that room20:30
Eickmeyerleftyfb: I'm on the ops team, but not in that room20:30
arraybolt3[m]...do I dare actually send ":q"...20:32
leftyfbhe's clearly a troll and doesn't have any real questions20:35
Eickmeyerleftyfb: Except /part seemed to work, so I think just a novice user.20:37
arraybolt3[m]I find it a bit unlikely that a novice user accidentally opened two duplicate clients. Just sayin'.20:39
arraybolt3[m]Also run "hola sí comidas rápidas el chamo una hambutguesa por favor" through Google Translate. :P I don't think they came in asking for help but started out by talking about a hamburger.20:40
Eickmeyerarraybolt3[m]: Agreed, but the CoC mandates that we assume good faith. I think they just didn't read the channel topic first. Once I told them to read /topic their tone changed very quick.20:41
arraybolt3[m]Valid point.20:41
arraybolt3[m]Speaking of Vim though, if anyone asks how to exit and ":qa!" doesn't do the trick, there's apparently an even more complex sequence that will: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31028197/1947463820:42
