Surprise T Rex posted:I wish I'd known about Mint basically being terrible before now. I'd always thought it was basically an almost-identical alternative to Ubuntu. I never had problems with Mint when I used it for their Mint 14-16(?) releases. It ran far better than Ubuntu which would give random popup errors all over the place. I still use Cinnamon over in Arch Linux and the only problem I have with it is the menu opening poo poo when I move the mouse quickly over the taskbar after opening it. Otherwise it's solid. Mint decided to stop making parity to each Ubuntu release and just work from the LTS builds. I think the entire thing is a wasted endeavour and they should work from Debian which is more stable not Ubuntu.

Xenomorph posted:I'm not sure where to ask this, but I only have noticed the problem under Ubuntu 14.04 (although it's probably a VLC issue). I had this problem, both with my Raspberry Pi running OpenElec with codec purchased and with my main computer. I noticed my entire network was pushing 10 years old so I replaced it with Gigabit stuff and haven't had a problem since.

xthnru posted:Thanks, despite the vague question those were the kind of answers I was looking for (less so on the Arch Linux, that poo poo looks too terrifying for me at my current experience level). Just start doing everything you possibly could imagine from the terminal. Move a file? Google and learn how to do it in the terminal. Mount a drive? Format a drive? Google it. Given that you're using Ubuntu you'll be repairing the install every time you do a version bump so Google every problem you encounter. If a program gets lovely with you launch it using the terminal and see what it says. Often times you can just copy/paste the errors into Google and get a bug report / fix. Don't feel anchored to Ubuntu either despite it's "newbie" reputation. Fedora is just as easy to use. Antergos is a decent distro that lets you have the Arch Linux experience without the tryhard installing process.

What is the deal with Ubuntu Touch? Has that project been silently dropped? There seems to be absolutely no amateur dev scene around it. XDA has people making lovely roms for almost every device and this seems like it would be equally suited to that scene.

TopherCStone posted:Still happening. Over the past year a handful of phones were released (I don't think any in the US). I don't necessarily see why an Ubuntu phone would benefit from custom roms, and it's possible that any amateur development is happening as code submitted to the official Ubuntu project. I meant porting it to every device when I talked about roms. There seems to be nothing on that front as far as I can tell. There seems to be no talk about it in any of the usual places.

cheese-cube posted:Isn't audio on Linux historically a fuckup? Works fine for me. I started using Linux in 2011 and I've never had a gently caress up that wasn't caused by myself.

The Merkinman posted:16.04LTS Came out today. So I just switched from Arch to Ubuntu to try out Unity for a bit. How is this done? When I move windows from the left to right monitor they keep getting caught on the edge and try maximizing. I'd prefer the dock on the bottom/top.

pyonium posted:For changing the dock, the command  I may actually try figuring out how to get Unity running on Arch since it runs like a real desktop when it's on the bottom like this. Gnome runs like absolute poo poo under X and Wayland on this low power box. Budgie was a fun DE to tinker with and KDE just doesn't fit my style. Cinnamon is a nice DE as well.
