Re: [orca-list] OT: Two questions (Mate Q and picking a forum software)

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Yep I meant Ubuntu 18.04 which IIRC uses Mate 1.20 out of the box, now 
I'm not sure when/if it got updated or forked or whatever, I've not run 
into any Mate updates to a newer version here...and yes Gnome as a DE is 
acessible but I find it's a spectacular resource hog, Mate uses around 
500 mb RAM and Gnome uses about 1-1.2 gig which is...frankly absurd. I'd 
rather stick with Mate thanks since it's lighter weight an means 
hey....more stuff done. Then again I stil got my ultra minimalist setup 
on my desktop at home. Did they ever fix the 3.28 memory leak?

For the forum stuff I didn't even consider SMF, Used to be on a SMF 
forum aaaaaaaaaages ago that I found clunky and unintuitive really. 
Basially, if they make it easy to use, I'm interested. I like 
simplicity. Can't speak or the others in my writing group but I for one 
love simplicity really. I'd rather take something that's super fast to 
pick up and learn than anything else.

Also for Skype, I'm both amused and highly entertained by the Skype 
fiasco over in MS land. Meantime, web skype does what I need it 
to...which or me is mostly messaging and such.


Okay one more question as I write this....

Out of the forums suggested, phpbb, punbb/fluxxbb, SMF, and any others 
you guys can suggest....which is the simplest to use? Ideally I want a 
simple open the page quick reply box and you type yer reply in and hit 
enter without opening up a new page. I want something that's fast to 
load and we can lock it so guests can't get in and see our writing things.
