[Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

This may seem like an odd question but a question that will better help me in my efforts as a tester. Who is the target audience? What type of users are we trying to attract? With this answer I can find a more effective way of performing testcases and writing them. Plus, I can focus on images and

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Lubuntu has always been for low resource machines. Many of these will be converts of old traditional operating systems, so it's important to make them feel at home. Secondarily, it's for those that want a complete but low resource OS. @wxl Lubuntu Release Manager, Head of QA Ubuntu PPC Point of

I help friends with Linux. lubuntu has 2 main features for me:- 1. A little more familiar for those people moving from Windows XP. 2. Works on really old computers. It keeps my NetBook running and also the computers of friends as well. -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.ac

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

I only somewhat agree. We're not targeting non-Linux users, but that may be part of it. Either way, the focus is on being low resource while still being somewhat user friendly. Xubuntu is light compared to Ubuntu, but not Lubuntu. We are the light option that still includes a GUI and a suite of

I agree with Walter: Lubuntu is low resource while still being somewhat user friendly. Lubuntu - ultra light foot-print Xubuntu - medium light foot-print Best regards Nio Den 2015-03-05 19:05, Walter Lapchynski skrev: > I only somewhat agree. We're not targeting non-Linux users, but that may >

So lubuntu targets Ubuntu users who like the simplicity of operating a Linux OS but with lxde. Now I know the audience for lubuntu what about ubuntu in general? On Mar 5, 2015 2:26 PM, "Brendan Perrine" wrote: > On Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:08:14 +0100 > Nio Wiklund wrote: > > > without [much] tweakin

Be forewarned: systemd is officially coming to Lubuntu on Vivid dailies Monday. For those that don't know, systemd is an init system, which is to say that it gets your operating system started. Ubuntu's been using Upstart for quite some time now but with Debian (and tons of other distros, includin

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Well, I guess you need to ask Ubuntu about that. If we judge it by the original plans sabdfl suggested, the idea was to make Linux easy for people. It seems this is true. There's much less hackiness to get things done (for the most part), lots of configuration options, good integration, and let's n

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

I guess that "ease of use" is what is important. Getting things is accelerated because of the reduction in actually hacking the system. No need to pull your hair out, for the most part. At least now I have a better of what I am really dealing with. On Mar 5, 2015 5:30 PM, "Walter Lapchynski" wrote

The workflow is like this: 1. Get the code: `bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual-tests` 2. Edit the files you want to change 3. Add the files to your commit (which should be recursive): `bzr add` 4. Check that you don't have any changed files that are not committed: `bzr status` 5. Commit the changes: `bz

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Yeah well honestly, I think Lubuntu's approach to things is a LOT easier than Kubuntu. If you find something that doesn't just work in the GUI, it's kind of messy. I think all users should feel empowered enough to use the command line. The fact that they have control over their system is something

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Yeah, we will concentrate on "ease of use". I stopped kubuntu a long time ago. Did not fall under the current objective. However, the advanced user discussion will come later. On Mar 5, 2015 6:27 PM, "Walter Lapchynski" wrote: > Yeah well honestly, I think Lubuntu's approach to things is a LOT >
