  • I won’t use Ubuntu Desktop now, but I used it for 6 years: 16 to 22, and loved it for many reasons. I left it for two reasons:

    1. Snaps
    2. Trying to get bridged networking going for VMs in Boxes ended up wrecking my network settings and I couldn’t get them back to normal. With more expertise I could have probably fixed it, but I realised it’s too easy to do things that I can’t fix.

    So, I went to NixOS for the declarative setup. It’s not always easy especially for niche cases , but at least I always have a working backup. Yes, there are other options, but I like NixOS so I plan to stick with it for now.

    My kids use Bazzite and I like that too.




  • I was about 15 and queued up for hours to get tickets for me and my mate to see Nirvana. I think they were about £13.50 each and then £1.50 ticket fee. Between then and the concert Kurt Cobain killed himself. I marched right back to HMV and got my £13.50 back. 🤦

    Imagine how awesome it would be to own one of the few, complete, tickets for a Nirvana concert that never happened.
