I have about 2 years on you then... I just about _remember_ the Summer of '69, and I don't just mean the song. I have found several distros over the years that had an out-of-the-box experience that made them usable for me. MX is close, openSUSE with Xfce is a very good distro, but at present, Ubuntu with Unity is the least work of all. Two of my machines are running an install that started out as 13.04 or so. Over a decade of longevity is excellent in my book. Oberon is a hoot, if very weird indeed. I'd love to see a native Raspberry Pi version. Sadly I came off my bicycle in April and smashed my right forearm to flinders. The surgeons save it, but it is held together with about 35 pieces of steel, and still very fragile and can't be used for much... except typing. I think this means I have to give up bicycles, and I bought my first car in August. :-/

Sorry to hear that mishap. Had many 'near misses' but never got hurt. Not even scratches. Still not wearing a helmet. Had a very badly broken upper arm/shoulder though by industrial accident, while doing everything by the book, following any fucking rule, protective shoes, helmet, reflective clothing. But something weighing a few 100 tons tore free and gave me a fast kick. Shit happens. Had only 7 screws and a plate in, for about 10 years. Limited movement only, and pain. Now an endoprosthetic like an artificial hip joint, but for the shoulder. Full (and fast) movement and load-bearing again, no pain. Can do pushups and pullups. I'm telling this because doctors initially said that I had to suck it up, that there wouldn't be a better outcome with endoprosthetics. Some decade later, somewhere else, they looked at and into it, asking me If I'd be crazy? 'That stuff has to go out!' Me: 'R u sure? I've been told...' They: 'Forget that! That's all wrong!' Now there may have been some progress in surgical procedures and endoprosthetics fur upper arm and shoulder joint in that decade, but not that much. I also opted out of robodoc, and had it done by an old and experienced surgeon by hand. Watch out for medical misinfo and get well. HTH
