dognoseHello there23:26
dognoseWhat is the purpose of this chatroom/23:26
GridCubedognose, you can ask questions about support here and someone might be able to point you toward a solution, or might not, depends on who's around23:29
guivercXubuntu support (supported releases are 22.04 & 23.04)23:29
dognosethank you23:30
* guiverc believes you already knew that 23:30
dognoseI'm a noobie for the most part. 23:30
dognoseXubuntu is what exactly?23:30
rud0lfdognose: are you named after playstation analog controller?23:30
rud0lfthey have texture of dog noses23:30
dognose^ haha23:31
guivercUbuntu Desktop with the Xfce desktop having replaced GNOME (includes desktop & apps)23:31
dognoseI'll google it, but now that is coincidence23:31
dognoseSo newest iteration of Ubuntu?23:31
dognoseOr just Gnome?23:31
dognoseI absolutely love Gnome Ubuntu23:31
dognoseSo if that is what XUbuntu is, it sounds like I'm in the right channel. 23:31
guivercXubuntu 22.04 is the same Ubuntu base as Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop; but GNOME & gnome-apps have been replaced by Xfce & Xfce apps  - Xfce is much lighter23:31
dognoseok23:32
dognoseMight be a stupid question, but if I have installed Gnome in Ubuntu, does that mean I then have XUbuntu installed?23:32
GridCubeno23:32
guivercUbuntu Desktop by default already has GNOME.23:33
GridCubexubuntu is xfce dekstop replacing whatever mainbuntu is running nowadays23:33
dognosethankx for clarifying, I had it backwards then23:33
dognoseI prefer lighter distros. 23:33
GridCubeif you want to run xubuntu and you already have ubuntu installed you just need to run sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop23:33
dognose^ perfect, you answered my next question thankx23:33
guivercall Ubuntu flavors (which includes Xubuntu) are built the same way as Ubuntu Desktop; just using different seed files meaning different packages are included by default.. Xubuntu is a Ubuntu system...23:34
dognoseWill that just overwrite everything and automatically default to Xubuntu XFCE stuff>23:34
dognose?23:34
dognoseOr is it two different desktop environments installed?23:34
dognoseTo toggle / choose from23:34
GridCubeno23:34
Unit193Nope, there should be a choice at the login screen.  Though you will still have all of GNOME and whatever extras it has too.23:34
GridCubeinstalling xubuntu-desktop will just install the defaults of xubuntu alongside the mainbuntu defaults23:35
guivercmy system has 3 DEs installed; Ubuntu Desktop (thus GNOME), Xubuntu Desktop (thus Xfce) & Lubuntu Desktop (LXQt)... I added what I wanted & select which I use when I login23:35
dognoseahh ok, you're talking about the bottom right on the login screen?23:35
GridCubemaybe? it changes with whatever login manager you're running23:35
dognosek thankx23:35
dognoseWow I didn't realize it was that simple to install alternative desktop environments. 23:35
GridCubeyou should be able to chose the desktop from any login manager23:36
dognoseHow much battery life would I save on a laptop you think? I get 10 hours or so on Gnome now, will doing XFCE increase battery life a bit you think?23:36
xanguaMaybe, maybe not23:37
dognosek23:37
dognoseI think your chatroom is more appropriate to be asking Ubuntu related questions. I don't like bothering 1000~ish people lol23:38
GridCubelol23:38
GridCubethat's fine23:38
dognoseThank you23:38
GridCubethe only stupid question is the one you don't ask23:38
dognoseI'll change my nick from time to time, as this is just a temporary one23:38
dognosehaha I agree with linux stuff especially. So much to learn. 23:38
Unit193Though keep in mind our answeres might be biased, many of us have strong feelings about GNOME. :)23:38
GridCube<.<23:38
GridCube>.>23:38
GridCubei tried gnome3 the other day23:39
GridCubealmost screamed my head off23:39
GridCubewhat a horrible horrible desktop paradigm23:39
dognoseAre they trying to be innovative?23:39
dognoseLike Apple?23:39
GridCubeno idea23:40
Unit193Last I knew they were trying to create an interface that worked everywhere, mobile, desktop, etc.  So, it works nowhere well. :P23:40
dognoselol23:40
GridCubeyeah that's the feel i  got when i was using it23:41
GridCubeit was like "this is a touchscreen interface"23:41
GridCubelike windows 823:41
GridCubeoh wait it wasn't gnome3, it was gnome 4023:42
dognosegross23:43
dognoseWindows 8 was horrid23:43
GridCubeyeah, seems like the gnome devs went "oh yeah windows 8, lets do that"23:45
dognoseso unlike Apple and more like Microsoft lol23:45
dognoseI hope they can find a really intuitive desktop environment that pleases all crowds simultaneously23:46
