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.

I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.

One of my favourites is newsnow.co.uk.

Browse with an adblocker. It’s brilliant for aggregating news from a huge variety of sources, and the facets/filters allow for some powerful searches.

Please visit it. I don’t want it to die because I love it so much.

Mine is that photos should ideally be printed, not stored in a cloud somewhere that you have to pay for forever or you lose them.
