07:59 Techrights-sec; 1. tests worked OK, first try a success afaik, but worth keeping an eye in case I broke something
07:59 Techrights-sec; 2. sisters both in vegas now, turns out they are linux users. I did not even know.
07:59 Techrights-sec; (I did introduce them to it ages ago)
8 AM, December 18
08:06 Techrights-sec; Exellent news. Which distros do they have at home and at work?
08:07 schestowitz-TR; debian 10 kde, same as rianne and I
08:08 Techrights-sec; Nice. Devuan is one better but only in the matter of systemd otherwise it
08:08 Techrights-sec; is a drop-in replacement. How much do any of you customized KDE?
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
08:09 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
08:10 Techrights-sec; A bit OT but occasional mentions can be made now and then when it is relevant
08:10 Techrights-sec; to the topic (or subtopic)
08:12 Techrights-sec; Linux Mint is a good intro distro, the UI is basically the same though: XFCE4,
08:12 Techrights-sec; Cinnamon, MATE, KDE, etc.
08:13 Techrights-sec; KDE seems a bit slow but XFCE4 seems ok and is highly customizable.
08:14 schestowitz-TR; on modern h/w the kde or plasma5 drag is negligible

09:01 schestowitz; <p>[ubuntu] didnt share sources, just the binaries, packaged for easy installation on Arch Linux. 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. Some werent so sure, arguing that people shouldnt
09:01 schestowitz; sudo install-this random games without a source code repo link. Folks were on low alert, and there mightve been up to about a dozen installs before a cautious and savvy member untarred the package and alerted people to suspicious base64 in the .INSTALL script, about half a day later.</p></blockquote></li>
