New PC, went Mint
Due to finding 10 at work stressful, then a downdate to 11 cemented that opinion.
Mint was a no brainer for a home PC.

You soon learn the ones you need.
That is how you are supposed ot do it, isn't it?
Like turning off is CMD.EXE shutdown enter since they hid the buttons.
Actually the button issue was shown to me to be quite simple, was red in 7 and before, later on grey, my work PC has never been shut down by the buttons, always command lines.
BTW Red in Mint, as it should be
Found out that on long cross country trips, garden centres are the best place for a break, usually decent food and drink.
A little one near Llandovery does great sandwiches.
One near Cardigan, great toasted sandwiches with chicken in.
One near home, fantastic burgers.
Looking at age of stuff, thermostat and boiler were new 26 27 years ago when house was built.
TV 15 years old, last pre smart model
Getting worried about replacing, especially if we do not move, may get a heat pump.
As our boiler is a system boiler, and a long lasting model, it would be left in use, so winter would still be warm.
Yes I am considering hybrid heating.
However the one rule I do have is do not get involved with Google only environments such as the Lagia game streamer (if you have played against one you would understand)
I have only owned 4 TVs and I am in my 60s.
My current one, does not have Freeview HD, just SD, but does have lots of HDMI and SCART. Also pre smart TV but top end.
Previous was 2K DTTV
The one before had SCART
Before a portable.
Shortest life a decade, three of them I wore the tube out.
My 15 Y/O TV works fine.
They have shrunk their car production, now a lot with the same group who own Chrysler, sold off their railway loco building.
Is there anything left?
Are they relevant?
To Europe, Austrailia, and New Zealand, not at all.
Suggest buying a car from a company actually wanting to make them, as to who, I do not know.
"That looks like Clickworker"
"Not Google?"
"Only a little bit"
So they were not taken in.
Not defending MS at all, mind you not Google either despite having a phone with their OS on it.
Luckily on our PC I just used the default browser as installed, so none of this MS Google nonsense.
US sounds like hell, a complete shithole of health insewerance instead of a centrally funded health system.
Had 3 rides so far, one was life threatening, all OK after a week.
The most recent was suspected stroke, they appeared to know what they were doing as they did not do a CT in the end, but did not know, had MRI later in week, no fault found.
In the end came down to me getting Covid for a second time, and very weird symptoms, like losing the ability to talk for about 1 hour.
Whan PSA bought Chrysler, the entire Chrysler setup disappeared. No more Rootes, no more Simca.
I had the moderately hot hatch and that factory was the first to go, Then Ryton.
Now they have GM and of course shutting time, Luton going, when will Ellesmere Port go? Russelheim?
And who are they going to buy next?
There is a very valid reason the surviving car brand in the last Blade Runner film was a Peugeot, they had bought everyone else.
As to that 3 way merger? What about the bike divisions?
Roughly 25 productive hours a week.
That is peak code time, brain would not cope with more.
But I get a LOT done in a short period, then cool down, and repeat.
Called pacing, and if I didn't I would have to quit work.
Add more working time, get less work.
I reckon I could lose a day and still turn out the same amount of work, as 3 days off not 2.
