SamHillOh this is so much better than that UX dumpster fire Discord.06:32
SamHillI am trying to install xubuntu on a laptop with 1GB RAM it starts into the installer then dies when XFCE is loading up, my question is ... is there a way to get an 'alternate installer' ISO image or a text-based installer for xubuntu?  I am using the minimal-iso.06:33
SamHillThanks06:33
ruenoakHey SamHill hmmm I havn't install Xubuntu 1gb system for a long time, I'm not sure how it would run these days. 06:40
ruenoakWhat you could try is install Ubuntu server and then install the meta package xubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop-minimal 06:41
SamHillruenoak, yeah I thought about that...06:49
SamHillAlright I will burn the server iso file.06:55
MekaneckTo run Xubuntu you need at least 2GB of RAM, that’s the bare minimum. 4GB and up is better for a smooth experience.07:03
MekaneckThere’s no difference in ram usage between Xubuntu minimal and the fully fledged desktop 07:04
