Thank you! :) Greetings from looks fun and also useful! :)

Thank you, that's really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)

It's been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)

Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he'd walk into a room and think "Hi everyone! I'm a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!"

Hull, England for me! I went up as a student and stayed another year, partly because I loved the city and wasn't ready to go home.

There was a great vibe, music venues, free museums and galleries, felt safe, and loved wandering.

I saw the rougher bits too, but it didn't seem to different to most places. On the whole, the centre was way nicer than I expected, and there was a lot of cool community things people were running.

My 1080 was okay with Linux Mint, no complaints, and performance is the same from what I can tell. :)

I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

I remember trying this in 2010 and... nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

The searches/sticking points I looked up were

• what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
• how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
• how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
• how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don't have to click the disk every time I boot.

*there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)

I bet there's a bunch of quality of life things I take for granted on android! I think you're right about the search :)

Windows Phone's UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.

I loved the cross-platform approach Kenny has taken, it is stuff that will be useful for years, and stuff like this is tricky to find resources for. :)

Saved for when I am at the "user" stage of my game, beyond "yay saves now work" and the lower level code :)

Ooh for me that would be another "I know I should hear this but somehow haven't!" :) looking forward to tomorrow already to see what's next! :)

I do now! First album is Illmatic by Nas, and it's been a good discovery so far :) I have a limited knowledge of hip-hop, so this is really cool to listen to! Thank you for the link to this :)

Wow! Now that is a new one. I kind of can see that stress and such is part of it all, but your pain threshold must be off the charts!

I'm written off when I get a bad one, and you're able to use migraines as a chance to reflect... that's very cool, even if I might be too much of a baby to dare try it! 😅

I get you, especially with the triggers. Working with software, especially VR all day is a terrible health choice. :/

I think I'd be a lost cause for days at a time without the miracle of sumatriptan! :)

I did a double-take when I re-read and saw the word "not"!

That's really interesting, I've always darkened or wore an eye mask, hmm I kind of want to try this for science now, but don't want a migraine - I've done my quota for the week!

You sold me at cooling pad! That does sound kind of logical in a "good at numbing and relaxing" way!

I'd love to see booze on the health guides!

I have migraines, they're bad, help.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno, you tried getting hammered?

I like the design on my app, the banners are funky and the logo fits :)

I wanted to offer something to contribute, so thought I could add a few sidebar links if they're helpful to others?

Thank you for this, I like the idea a lot :) here's hoping we have some good news at last!

It weirds me out to think some younger people will think the past decade was just "normal" as it'll be most of what thaey have experienced.

Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that's new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn't know better!

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work's microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn't fancy trying it on Mint but that's another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can't be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that's not a thing these days., :)
