| craigbass76 | I'm setting up a laptop, and don't want KDE. Is my best bet Xubuntu then running the ubuntustudio-installer ? | 14:48 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | craigbass76: That would make sense, yes. | 14:50 |
| OvenWerks | craigbass76: do note that the studio applications will pull in some of the KDE libs in any case but they should not run all the time. | 14:52 |
| craigbass76 | That'll work. I just haven't liked KDE for a while. I think Fedora 4 was the last time I used it regularly. | 14:52 |
| OvenWerks | For audio only and not the graphics tools that studio also comes with, XFCE is probably better. | 14:54 |
| OvenWerks | But KDE has things like monitor set up that are harder to do with XFCE | 14:54 |
| craigbass76 | I'm thinking of sticking it on my older laptop too, but you're right. When I tried Mint with Mate or XFCE, getting multiple monitors (via a docking station) working was near impossible. My son has gotten into astro-photography lately, so I may throw it on anyway and give it to him. He won't need the docking station capability anyway. | 14:58 |
| OvenWerks | Hmm, I didn't have trouble setting up dual monitors but then mine were plugged in all the time. I do remember that if one wasn't plugged in at start up and added later I had to reset everything | 15:02 |
| OvenWerks | I think it is better now than then though. | 15:02 |
| craigbass76 | Sounds about right. I think last November was the last time I tried it, and it didn't go well. | 15:03 |
| craigbass76 | My main box is a mini PC though, which never moves - problem solved. | 15:03 |
| craigbass76 | I accidentally tried to join #ubuntu-studio (with a hyphen) and got booted. Is that an unofficial channel? | 15:04 |
| OvenWerks | I have no idea. | 15:04 |
| OvenWerks | There is no #ubuntu-studio so you were trying to make such a channel and it decided not to let you do so. | 15:09 |
| craigbass76 | OvenWerks: Thanks a bunch - dd is done, and I'm booting to the Xubuntu iso. Have a fantabulous day. | 15:33 |
| bhechinger | Now that was a pleasant user interaction. | 22:07 |
