| Techrights-sec | 1. tests worked OK, first try a success afaik, but worth keeping an eye in case I broke something | Dec 18 07:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | 2. sisters both in vegas now, turns out they are linux users. I did not even know. | Dec 18 07:59 |
| Techrights-sec | (I did introduce them to it ages ago) | Dec 18 07:59 |
| Techrights-sec | Exellent news. Which distros do they have at home and at work? | Dec 18 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | debian 10 kde, same as rianne and I | Dec 18 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Nice. Devuan is one better but only in the matter of systemd otherwise it | Dec 18 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec | is a drop-in replacement. How much do any of you customized KDE? | Dec 18 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you can imagine, rianne does not tinker with it as much as I do. Should I make more KDE videos? Seems a tad OT for TR | Dec 18 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | side story: I put mint on her PC about 11 years ago and she did dual-boot for a while, I even used that computer as a backup of my own, but eventually she did not keep it | Dec 18 08:09 |
| Techrights-sec | A bit OT but occasional mentions can be made now and then when it is relevant | Dec 18 08:10 |
| Techrights-sec | to the topic (or subtopic) | Dec 18 08:10 |
| Techrights-sec | Linux Mint is a good intro distro, the UI is basically the same though: XFCE4, | Dec 18 08:12 |
| Techrights-sec | Cinnamon, MATE, KDE, etc. | Dec 18 08:12 |
| Techrights-sec | KDE seems a bit slow but XFCE4 seems ok and is highly customizable. | Dec 18 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | on modern h/w the kde or plasma5 drag is negligible | Dec 18 08:14 |

One of the prominent PinePhone community members installed that binary and enjoyed the “game” part of it, asking about plans to make it open-source – receiving reassurance from [ubuntu] that the sources would be released eventually, “just need to clean it up”.
