Registered blind, Dad of 2, Partner to a Welsh Girl. Total #Linux, #Android, #HamRadio and #Photography mad man. I was born with #Hydrocephalus and #SpinaBifida, but don't let them bother me much!
I'm a huge #SpongeBob fan, and a BIG #JeanMichelJarre fan
Yeah I needed them 😆 I do miss where I grew up, but will always remember my late Dad trekking me don't move back there's nothing there noa... From what my sister's have told me since, I made the right choice....

The Speccy was the greatest! But I'm biased, just like I try not to be with Windows v Linux lol! The fun we had in Comet with the machines all in a row with the high pitch wine of the CRT's 😁

Mac and money? Users who go for those nowadays trade body parts... But I'm not a Mac fan, and Microsoft have caused a few problems with 11 if you don't have money to upgrade the system, it's either hack or go Linux... Win XP and 7 were my faves then it just went pop....

Have you looked at Winboat to ruin Windows apps on Linux? It uses a VM affair but makes the apps look like they're native to the Distro you're using? But yeah I agree with you on at long as... But 16 years ago Vista fight went to do it so I switched lol

My partner does to .. I thought it was just a Welsh thing lol! What's the Distro of choice?
November 17, 2025 at 8:32 PM
That's a nice setup, but.... One tiny issues on the PC.... Ubuntu or Linux Mint would suit it better 😁😉

My laptop is a HP ZBook 14 G2 and the Plex server is the Grandad of i7 3770 CPU's streaming happily for the family on Plex with a few Terabytes of shows and films.... I'm hoping to upgrade it to a 7th Gen i7 later especially now the market is getting flooded on eBay 😉

I switched from Microsoft "Gingerhaired" Evil Stepchild Vista back in 09, went with Ubuntu, tried KDE a number of times, I just can't get on with it, went GNOME 2 at the time, then Unity and I then switched to MATE and now I'm back full circle to GNOME with tweaks! Great journey eh?
