Please make more of these. Thanks for sharing.

Oh so true. Also, have ever looked at a word for long enough that it just doesn’t make sense?

Not weighing in on opinions about the fella as I’m British and ‘not my politician’ but, just showed this to my wife who is a specialist in geriatrics for the NHS and she said she’d refer him for a scan querying either a vascular event or vascular dementia.

Amun, am I going nuts or are the words moving around the slab?

Do not speak of the Griffin Interchange Format.

I hate Windows with an unbridled passion. I’m forced to use it lately for work and it absolutely sucks (Win 10 anyway).

Makes sense and stacks up against my experience of it as seeming unfinished.

Is it Gnome / KDE as standard or are there other environments available?

I’ve heard about Mint and it seems to have a good rep. My tech lead at work recommends it. I’ll look into all of these.

Dummy question but, I assume the commands/syntax across Mac terminal and whatever the bash/shell equivalent are similar/same?

I’ve had a look through system76’ site and pop looks interesting, def a contender. Their hardware is a tad pricy. I assume like most of this the hardware is something to research carefully if you choose a distro first, compatibility, drivers, support etc.

It’s a bit of an experiment for me so I won’t be dropping a grand on some HW.

I don’t actually know. It was Unity I think, whatever that is. Felt a bit, um, amateur and not very polished. Best way I can describe from what I remember.

I will be seriously researching every response here. Very grateful for the help.
