  • Last Windows I ran full-time was XP, ran Win7 for a couple of months before switching Ubuntu 10.04; still used Win XP and Win7 in VM’s for years for specific applications.

    Win10 is the OS on the work machines, some of it is really nice, but so much feels backward. I don’t get why there is still control panel and the settings app. Why is notepad so shit…

    I used Win11 recently, it looks quite nice, more consistent than 10 at least. But everything I have read makes me want to stay away.

    Ran Ubuntu LTS’s finishing with 20.04, have since been running Mint. Snap’s made Ubuntu a worse experience for me.

    I was having a lot of random crashes and weird errors on my Mint install, using the logs, I tracked it down to a SSD fault.

    I really didn’t want to send it back, since I got it from Amazon and I’m in NZ… So after a bit of checking I found that the FW on the SSD was not the latest. Updated the FW, went from at least 1 crash per workday, to no crashes in the last 6 months.

    My SSD is a WD SN850X 4TB
