- | Q: How did you get involved with Lubuntu, and why? | + | Q : Simon, merci beaucoup de prendre ce moment. D' |
- | A: I got involved with Lubuntu because I had always thought development was something interesting. (Since I was tinkering with writing websites from scratch at age nine using HTML and CSS). Now that I was running Lubuntu, this free and open source operating system, I wanted to give back and help the community that has helped me escape from Windows. I then joined the Lubuntu IRC channel and started talking with people who would mentor me to become who I am today, people like Walter Lapchynski, to whom I am forever grateful. | + | R : J'ai 16 ans. Je vis aux USA à Green Bay, Wisconsin, et je suis étudiant à plein temps, mais je travaille à temps partiel chez Altispeed Technologies. |

+ | |||
+ | **Q: Who would you imagine is Lubuntu 's user base? (mostly?) | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: I would imagine people using 18.04 and before, who are looking for a distribution for their older computer and want to breathe life into those machines. The goal for 18.10 and beyond is really to give people a flexible, lean distro, that they can make the most out of using Qt 5. So, the user base is average users, I would say.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Q : Auriez-vous une idée de qui compose la base des utilisateurs de Lubuntu (pour la plupart) ? | ||
+ | |||
+ | R : J' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: What would you say to users coming from other OSes? And would Lubuntu be the right distribution to start with and why? | ||
A: To people who are just starting off with Lubuntu or Linux in general, I would say that you should not treat Linux like you treat Windows. Linux is a powerful tool, and if you’re using it like Windows, you’re not getting the most out of it. | A: To people who are just starting off with Lubuntu or Linux in general, I would say that you should not treat Linux like you treat Windows.

+ | |||
+ | R : En général, pour les gens qui démarrent tout juste avec Lubuntu ou Linux, je dirais qu'ils ne doivent pas considérer Linux comme ils considèrent Windows. Linux est un outil puissant et, si vous l' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Oui, Lubuntu peut être la bonne distribution par laquelle commencer, parce qu' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: The big leap from LXDE to LXQt, who is responsible? | ||
A: That would be me. The team that was active when I was getting involved, without going into too much detail, wanted to keep LXDE around forever, and while some components were slowly being ported to GTK 3, LXDE is still on GTK 2. The team resources required to port to GTK 3 far exceeded the resources needed to get LXQt polished and working for our users. | A: That would be me.

+ | **Q: Where to from Lubuntu 18.10? Any surprises waiting in the wings? | ||
A: Our goal from 19.04 to 19.10 is to make LXQt as ready as possible to ship to LTS users. Whether this is adding missing features or polishing as much as possible, the goal is to make this completely ready for users. Lubuntu 18.10 shipped with a few rough edges and we would like to get all of those solved. | A: Our goal from 19.04 to 19.10 is to make LXQt as ready as possible to ship to LTS users.

- | A: I switch between my laptop, which is a Lenovo Thinkpad W520, and my custom build desktop computer, which has 16GB of RAM, an AMD FX-6300 processor, and a bit of a mix-and-match of components. Both of which are always running the current development release of Lubuntu, with LXQt of course. | + | R : Notre but de la 19.04 à la 19.10 est de rendre LXQt auusi prêt que possible pour les utilisateurs LTS (à support à long terme).

- | Wayland is a good idea, but it’s one of the technologies that we have struggled to universally implement. You know it’s this way when RHEL 8 decides to adopt it as the default before Ubuntu does.

A: We don’t. We have the option with the ubuntu-report tool, but ignorance is bliss in my opinion. I don’t want to be over-pressured if we have a lot of users, and I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting my time if we have close to zero. I just want to make the decisions that are best for the distribution without that hanging over my head. | A: We don’t.
