I was in those masses. They sent me a free CD in the mail when I was a teenager!

Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.

In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.

Yea, none of those things matter to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

To each their own :)

One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …

Did you ever find the missing packets?

That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!

Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.

Loved the minimalism.

Desktop: Macintosh (<X) -> Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome

Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian

I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.

I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…

I plan to pay for Immich

I’m really hoping for the 3D options. If OpenSCAD isn’t a good fit then I still boot to Windows for CAD :(

I remember getting a Ubuntu CD box set many years ago when I ordered free disks in the mail as a teenager. The box was well constructed, prints of high quality and the CD labels were especially sharp.

Crazy how physical media was king back then.

After getting used to the vanilla Gnome flow, at home and at work, even MacOS starts to feel a bit clunky.

Love the minimalism of Gnome with the stability of Debian.
