[10:49] <user|42> hello new to this distro have played around with others my question is can Kubuntu run on memory card
[10:51] <diogenes_Vx15> user|42, if other distros can then definitely.
[10:52] <user|42> thank you I could not find a simple answer appreciate your time
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[20:41] <Guest2694> wow
[20:41] <Guest2694> surprised IRC is still a thing :D
[23:11] <waffeln> hi people, i'd like to ask if it's possible in Kubuntu to make Shift + Scroll wheel do horizontal scrolling like in Windows.
[23:18] <valorie> waffeln: probably
[23:18] <waffeln> do you know how?
[23:19] <valorie> if you use alt+space then type settings
[23:19] <valorie> look at the top of your screen
[23:19] <waffeln> i already searched the system settings but couldn't find anything :/
[23:19] <valorie> that's called Krunner
[23:19] <valorie> hmmm
[23:19] <waffeln> i also searched online and only found instructions for gnome or using the "xautomation" package
[23:20] <valorie> I don't have a scroll wheel to check, sorry
[23:20] <valorie> if you don't get another answer here, try #kde
[23:20] <valorie> I'm sure it's possible, but dunno how, sorry
[23:20] <waffeln> i'll try there. i thought it'd be best to ask in the distro community first since Kubuntu might have modified parts of KDE - i don't know :)
[23:21] <waffeln> thanks regardless :)
[23:21] <valorie> no, we don't
[23:21] <valorie> we work with the plasma and app devels tho
[23:22] <valorie> and all the KDE devels work with gnome devels as well to make shortcuts etc. as universal as possible
[23:22] <waffeln> that's cool
[23:23] <valorie> yes, collaboration is really powerful
[23:23] <valorie> all of us want to make all of linux as easy as possible for all users
[23:25] <waffeln> that makes sense. it's awesome to see both consistency while still having variety.
[23:25] <valorie> we're all in this together, in spite of the urban myths saying otherwise
[23:25] <valorie> agreed
[23:25] <waffeln> yeah urban myths is about linux elitists which also say that you should never use ubuntu.
[23:26] <waffeln> ignoring the fact that while ubuntu might not be perfect, it's still a lot better than the direction microsoft windows is heading.
[23:26] <valorie> amen
[23:27] <valorie> although you can basically run linux *from* win
[23:28] <waffeln> there's this saying that just like with many things like fighting climate change and reducing animal harm, we don't need a few people doing it perfectly, we need many people doing it imperfectly.
[23:28] <valorie> yes
[23:28] <waffeln> yeah i've been using WSL for many years now.
[23:28] <waffeln> i think it has made my move over to using linux as a main OS easier.
[23:28] <valorie> I do genealogy and most of the people I work with use Windows
[23:28] <waffeln> i know the whole microsoft EEE thing but it's been solely positive for me.
[23:29] <valorie> and as you say, we are all in this together
[23:30] <waffeln> we just have to hope and pray that ""niche"" industries pay more attention to linux. i'm a hobbyist DJ and there's tons of software that i can't work without that doesn't run on linux.
[23:30] <valorie> check out Ubuntu Studio
[23:30] <valorie> it's for YOU
[23:31] <waffeln> but realistically only more linux adoption will have any influence on that. first the users need to move - the corporations won't make the first move.
[23:31] <waffeln> (with some exceptions, like davinci resolve)
[23:31] <valorie> and it uses the Plasma desktop by default
[23:31] <waffeln> TIL!
[23:31] <waffeln> but it's not gonna cut it for me. i know for sure that the programs i use are without alternatives.
[23:32] <valorie> !ubuntustudio
[23:32] <waffeln> e.g. rekordbox, foobar2000 and all the smaller programs that make club DJing possible.
[23:32] <valorie> right, but working with their users might be useful
[23:32] <Eickmeyer> !info mixx
[23:32] <Eickmeyer> ope
[23:32] <waffeln> of course i know about mixxx.
[23:33] <Eickmeyer> idjc used to be a thing.
[23:33] <waffeln> but it can't prepare a CDJ-compatible USB stick with the same features as rekordbox.
[23:33] <valorie> got it
[23:34] <waffeln> at least gaming is on a good path towards more and more linux support through steamdeck and the like.
[23:34] <valorie> the size of a userbase makes a difference
[23:35] <waffeln> right now i have 1 PC for gaming, 2 laptops for DJing, 1 linux main PC for software development and misc. and 2 servers with linux.
[23:35] <waffeln> maybe in 5 or 10 years i can move the gaming PC to linux too.
