I always think that somehow sounds like the name of an african dictator.
I often hear it as HADOUKEN!
UBUNTU!
āUbuntu is an ancient african word, meaning āI canāt configure Debian.āā
Though thatās the sweet thing about Linux. Donāt like (the sound of) one flavour, well, there are a dozen others that might suit you better.
Great and now I cannot unhear that myself from now on!
You shouldnāt need to configure it if you donāt want to. Not that you have to, with Debian. That hopefully humorously and not maliciously intended quote is from around '04/'05ish when Ubuntu first came out. That being said, I do use Xubuntu on my laptop rather than Debian Xfce partially because itās useful when debugging to have more variety and partially because āconfiguringā Debian to work with UEFI and particular WLAN drivers etc. would be a giant waste of time.
C64 > MS-DOS 5.0 > Win 3.0 > Win 3.1 > Win 4.1 > Win95 > Win XP > MacOs Lion > Mavericks > El Capitan > High Sierra
BTW, Iāve used many other Win OS after Win 95 from time to timeā¦ I still think the best Windows ever was XP
Oh by the way, your poll doesnāt allow me to enter my age: it says 80-81 (same for 70-71).
Although I donāt think you can correct a poll after posting. Letās try
- A
- Z

It seems you can only change a poll in the first 5 minutes
A and Ī©!
And what a devicive decision it seems to be at the moment!

But I would assume that everybody knows what I meant. (Especially those players over 70ā¦)

Thatās right! But you could remove it and create a new one.

I hadnāt heard it before, but came across it while refreshing my memory on the true meaning of Ubuntu. I found it both funny and insightful, as it alludes to the ease of use that is attributed to Ubuntu (which is a good thing, after all). Which is why nowadays I prefer it over Debian on my personal desktop, even though Iām not always dāaccord with Canonicalās decisions.
I guess it depends on what hardware youāve got in there but post-2010ish I just donāt think itās true anymore. Ubuntu itself has stagnated greatly since then with basics like Samba not even working properly by default anymore.
Yeah, thereās a always a few manual tweaks required to accommodate ones needs, but I guess no distro is truly without fail in that regard. At least nowadays youāre not forced to compile your own kernel just to get your audio working .

You quickly develop a standard arsenal of things. E.g., on Windows:
- WinCompose (canāt live without it)
- Ditto (just a reasonably decent FOSS clipboard manager; no special attachment to the program per se)
- X-Mouse Button Control (I just use it to scroll in inactive windows atmā¦ Iād really love to get scroll to activate the window at the same time but all I can find in Windows is focus follows cursor, which I hate)
The biggest failure of the Windows distro is that you need to click too damn much.
The Compose key is also part of my standard Linux arsenal. I replace Caps Lock with it.
On Windows I tend toward Notepad++, on Linux Geany.
To what question?
We have the habit to go off-topic and discuss multiple things by the time we reach post 74.
Any expert who will suggest me the best answer from this thread?
Most players are between 30 and 49.
we reach post 74.
Ahem. Post 3.
Yeah, post 3 is the average one to go off-topic. What I meant to say was: by the time we reach post 74, we usually have already discussed 5 to 20 other topics/threads.
Still I am afraid @fernhinton might be asking about the best answer to some Ubuntu question?
post 3 is the average one to go off-topic.
By the time we reach post 3, we already have discussed 74 different topics.
I get the feeling games like TWP could become increasingly popular with young people with the rise of episodic, story-focussed games like Life is Strange and The Walking Dead.
After the popularity of highly competitive and fast-paced action games like FIFA, Call of Duty, and Fortnite, it seems like more and more younger kids/teenagers are turning to more chilled games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley (I was pleasantly surprised to hear how many 12-18 year olds play it) and Life Is Strange.
Iād like to see a point and click rennaissance, and donāt feel itās too far away
Your insight might be interesting.
Life is strange is quiteā¦ netflixish.
Maybe thatās the key.
