Jim`arraybolt3 , Unit193: So I installed hplib and it worked03:42
Jim`For a printer03:42
Jim`arraybolt3 , Unit193: I had to install "xsane" for it to work in GIMP as a scanner though?03:43
Jim`is that normal?03:43
Unit193\o/03:44
Jim`Unit193: also I remembered I like LXDE better now lol03:45
Jim`so I'd be installing Lubuntu instead03:45
Jim`but anyway03:45
arraybolt3Jim`: Lubuntu switched to LXQt so it probably will be significantly different than you remembered.03:58
arraybolt3XFCE is probably closer to LXDE than LXQt is now.03:58
arraybolt3(As a Lubuntu developer, I won't tell you to *not* use it, but you should probably know before you go and try it :P)03:58
Jim`arraybolt3: I just want close to Windows as possible without KDE03:59
Jim`or the "LOL YOU BROKE SUCKER! YOU SHOULD HAVE UPGRADED YOUR HARDWARE BEFORE 2025 !!!"04:00
arraybolt3Xubuntu is probably going to be a lot more like Windows than modern Lubuntu. Modern Lubuntu is great, but it's more like classic Windows, whereas with some work XFCE can be made to be more like Windows 7 or 10.04:00
arraybolt3And hey, I have a machine here that is too old to run Windows 11 (officially anyway) that gets plenty of use with Linux :D04:00
Jim`arraybolt3: Yeah why I gotta upgrade my FX-8370 and 950 SC04:02
Jim`I'll have to to play GTA604:02
Jim`but why can't I make that choice myself04:02
Unit193If that's your thing, look into xfce4-docklike-plugin and xfdashboard too.04:15
Jim`Unit193: I don't like the "up top" thing 04:16
Unit193Panel can be moved.04:16
Unit193https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-docklike-plugin/start that's docklike.04:17
Jim`Unit193: I'm thinking I should probably be using these "min" GUIs for sure 04:19
Jim`and not KDE or Ubuntu?04:19
Unit193Up to you what works best for you.04:23
Jim`Unit193: I don't want the GUI to be eating up all the VRAM trying to play games on Linux before I can get a new Win machine04:24

BadQuantaIf I want gcc-14 on my current install of xubuntu is there a good ppa to add?  ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test doesn't seem to have gcc-14 yet.11:24
BadQuantaHuh... so 24.04 also defaults to gcc-13?11:43
BadQuantaGood news. I'm trying out 24.04 in a VM right now; I see it allows me to install gcc-14 from the default repos.  Good news.11:59
