This sounds awesome dude. Taking it slow is a great move - really helps to prevent injuries. Once you get to 5k, I think you'll find the hurdle to 10k is lower than the initial hurdle of 5.

It must have been all that. I'm sure I bought something while there. It was only done one year so maybe they didn't make enough money.

I'd go to full day festivals for $30. Seriously. One year, I went to ozzfest and it was free! That year they dubbed it "freefest". This isn't even that long ago, I'm talking 15-20 years ago I was able to do this.

They try, but nowadays you can have your new carrier buy you out!

I agree. However there are some gems. Got one good piece of advice from https://lemmy.world/u/BombOmOm and now I'm on the Linux train (at least on one laptop anyway).

The best way I've heard it explained is that excel is too good at doing too many, but it isn't the correct tool for many of those things. Since it's good and accessible, people make it work and then you get this jumbled mess of stuff after time passes.

I do like the control aspect. I also really enjoy how clean it feels compared to windows.

If it works well (and I mean very well), I will consider doing the same on my main machine. The one the family uses. Maybe just set it up so I boot both windows and Linux... Either way. Very happy with the results so far.

Back to this comment to report that I took the dive. I have a second laptop that wasn't getting used so I wiped it and installed Linux mint. Love it so far and no issues with any of the basics. Took me all of 1 hr to get up and running.

Maybe. I use Settings for quick things like Bluetooth pairing, changing monitor settings, etc. I do use Control Panel a decent amount and would never want it deprecated though.

Yeah the expectations for a cheap EV in the US are insane. I want one too, but realistically I want a 30k EV that gets 300+ miles. There are a couple of close options today, but more competition would be great.

I'd be down for a remaster. I really enjoyed the ff xiii trilogy.
