| prosurestring | hello! | 21:54 |
| Jim` | is the Xubuntu version of the new LTS out? | 23:27 |
| arraybolt3 | Jim`: Yes it is. | 23:37 |
| arraybolt3 | https://xubuntu.org/ | 23:37 |
| Jim` | arraybolt3: I guess no better time to see if I can get off the M$ train before it derails Oct 2025 | 23:37 |
| arraybolt3 | https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/24.04/release/ | 23:37 |
| Jim` | cause aint nobody being forced to upgrade parts | 23:37 |
| arraybolt3 | Jim`: Neat. Derails Oct 2025? That's when Win10 goes EOL I'm guessing? | 23:37 |
| Jim` | arraybolt3: yes | 23:38 |
| Bashing-om | Jim`: https://xubuntu.org/download/. | 23:38 |
| Jim` | I aint being forced to upgrade my 8 year old hardware | 23:38 |
| arraybolt3 | neat. Hope you end up enjoying Linux as much as I do (I daily-drive it and have done so for years). | 23:38 |
| Jim` | arraybolt3: I just worry if my HP Deskjet 2640 is going to work | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | hplip just works, right? | 23:39 |
| arraybolt3 | I would guess it would, I have a couple HP inkjets and one laserjet here that "just work" upon being plugged in. | 23:39 |
| arraybolt3 | The laserjet even works over WiFi without any fancy gymnastics | 23:39 |
| Jim` | Unit193, arraybolt3: I should be able to test it in Live mode first? | 23:39 |
| arraybolt3 | Yep. | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | One brother laser printer that needs their driver and libc-i386 (yes...) and it works great. | 23:39 |
| arraybolt3 | Just boot from the USB, then plug in your printer and see how it works. | 23:39 |
| Jim` | I don't think it did in Pops | 23:40 |
| Jim` | when I tried about 3 years ago | 23:40 |
| arraybolt3 | A lot can change in three years :) Also Pop!_OS isn't Ubuntu, so it may have had a bug that made it not work in that regard. | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | hplip is seeded in Xubuntu, so yep you're good. | 23:40 |
| Jim` | It was on sale for $25 at walmart when I got it, the ink is more lol | 23:42 |
| Jim` | but I don't wanna have to change out the printer either | 23:42 |
| Jim` | I still need it to copy, for return labels, etc | 23:42 |
| Unit193 | You don't have a CartridgeWorld near you? | 23:42 |
| Jim` | never heard of it | 23:43 |
| arraybolt3 | cheap printer ink I think | 23:43 |
| Unit193 | They refill the container. | 23:43 |
| arraybolt3 | are HP cartridges still even refillable? All mine warn that you can't refill them and I think HP has some weird "security" stuff to make refilling hard | 23:44 |
| Unit193 | arraybolt3: All of the printer makers try to complicate it. I remember *years* ago that CW said the new cartridges were padded so held half the ink they should too. For the brother one I use EZ-Ink and it works great, but I've never let the system update firmware (that tends to lock-out third party refills.) | 23:45 |
| arraybolt3 | mmm | 23:46 |
