Kira:So, if things continue like this, I'm sticking with KDE for quite some time.

Today at 19:42:31

Kira:And of course, stacking them rather than removing one. Fun things when you hop into Gnome and need to go back to KDE to fix some GTK theme settings.

Today at 19:42:02

Kira:Also, the reason I was wanting to leave KDE behind is because my typing was screwy on it. Tried many keyboards, but it happened every time. Not happening after a reinstall, so maybe it was something caused by the Xubuntu to Kubuntu conversion.

Today at 19:41:27

Kira:But I think enough experimenting on things right now and just sticking to what works.

Today at 19:40:46

Kira:Yeah. Upgrading to 18.04 was my downfall. It's like, well, while I'm doing that, I may as well do this .. and this .. and it just never ends.

nelg:I'm still on 17.10...probably need to do something about that

Today at 19:38:37

Kira:While this is somewhat sad that I have to set so much back up, I'm happy because I actually wanted to do this. Just doing it is so time consuming. lol

Today at 19:16:27

Kira:I think only my second time ever going to be installing Kubuntu through an actual Kubuntu ISO.

Today at 18:13:59

Kira:Time for a fresh install. I sort'a mucked up my install playing with too many DE's I think. I mean, everything was okay until I started playing with Gnome 3 extensions. It all went to hell pretty quickly.

Today at 18:13:02

Kira:Alright, I went back to KDE. Gnome didn't really solve the problem I had, so enough struggling to make it work for me.

Kira:If you set up a RetroPie on a Pi 3, you could create your own controller with a Zero.

June 23, 2018 at 21:27:46

Kira:I believe there's also a Pi-Hole Docker image you can get, which would keep your Pi free if you already run a server.

June 23, 2018 at 21:27:19

Kira:If you're setting up a PiHole, you should definitely just use a Zero. That's what I used mine for and it worked perfectly fine. Sort of a waste if you're using a 3B unless you're doing other stuff on it.

sinewav:My coworker gave me a Pi the other day. Didn't need it anymore I guess. I hope to make a Pi-Hole out of it. RetroPi sounds fins, though I could see myself getting carried away with that.

Kira:A browser is a lot for it though, and not much fun to try moving around on.

June 23, 2018 at 18:38:09

Kira:My Zero is unhooked and no micro SD right now, but I wouldn't bother attempting to run a window manager on it, even though it sort of can do it.

June 23, 2018 at 18:37:54

Kira:My Pi just lives as an arcade machine using RetroPie.

June 23, 2018 at 18:37:11

nelg:now, KDE3 is definitely different from KDE4 - so much so, there's now a fork called Trinity which I use on a raspberry pi

June 23, 2018 at 16:30:19

nelg:I personally don't consider KDE5 to be that much different from KDE4.

June 23, 2018 at 16:29:24

Kira:I will probably switch around a bit, as always, but for the moment, Gnome 3.28 is working perfectly for me after updating to *buntu 18

June 23, 2018 at 06:35:04

sinewav:I'm waiting for the new version of KDE Neon o get released so I can try it out. I hated KDE 4x but have heard great things about plasma.

June 23, 2018 at 00:23:55

Kira:Yeah, was sort of false hope I guess. It works when I restart the shell, but the icon is unusable and if I close steam, gotta restart the shell again to make it show. Bleh .. Dunno why they needed to get rid of them icons.

June 22, 2018 at 08:01:20

Kira:ooo Just got that working. Let's hope it sticks this time because it was previously working ..

June 22, 2018 at 07:58:54

Kira:My biggest complaint about Gnome 3 right now is that my steam tray icon won't show up for some reason, but the extension to show them seems buggy anyways.
