Revisiting the +1 Vanguards: Ubuntu Developer Office Hours

2019-06-24 Thread Simon Quigley
Hello, I wanted to revisit a proposal by Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre[1] from last September regarding +1 vanguards. I think this is a great idea and I wanted to push to make it happen. To do this, I have created an "Ubuntu Developer Office Hours" calendar. The goal is to define times in which Ubuntu

Hi, I spotted a post by Canonical about support for 32-bit:- *"Thanks to the huge amount of feedback this weekend from gamers, Ubuntu Studio, and the WINE community, we will change our plan and build selected 32-bit i386 packages for Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 LTS."* Short story: I have been and

According to Steve on Ubuntu Discourse [1]: > I’m sorry that we’ve given anyone the impression that we are “dropping support for i386 applications”. That’s simply not the case. What we are dropping is updates to the i386 libraries, which will be frozen at the 18.04 LTS versions. But there is

Hi, As a ubuntu user and supporter, and as I have pushed for this blueprint from 2010 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdevs-dx-n-multitouch-and-games I want to comment this decision that it seems has many many consequences. Specially for Wine and Steam.

It’s time to move on. Having 1GB of RAM is no longer acceptable in computing today. We need to move forward. You could have argued that point in 2010 to some success but it’s 2019. 2019! They will need to upgrade. > On Jun 21, 2019, at 9:33 AM, Luigino Bracci wrote: > > I also disagree with

Hi, I'm just wondering that, instead of totally dropping i386, why not just drop the ones that are unnecessary from the repos, like VLC, Vim, Nano, Plasma, etc.  Since Ubuntu doesn't even have an i386 based distros officially, those aren't needed to be there anymore.  That way, you only had

I also disagree with this decision. In my country, there is A LOT of hardware (minilaptops, old computers) with just 1 GB of RAM; those computers have 64-bit CPUs, but we recommend installing 32-bit distros on them, because the performance of a 64-bit distribution in 1 GB of RAM is disappointing;
