My daily driver has been in for repairs, so for the past couple of weeks I've been using my Raspberry Pi 4-based "Hack-in-the-box" cyberdeck that I built in 2020. The more I use it, the more I love it: Everything I need is readily available through the package manager. There are no interruptions and no nag screens. There is an unobtrusive icon at the top telling me that an update is available, but I get to install it on my schedule. I've resisted the urge to sign into Google for Gmail and YouTube and my other social media accounts and I'm actually amazed at how little I miss it (though I still use those services from my phone, but I've been using them less) Also, it being a home-built computer it comes with a couple of quirks: Its fan is extremely noisy, when you scroll the mouse wheel you hear a crackling noise on the speakers and the keyboard is very uncomfortable, but all of these gives it a "personality" that only endears it to me.
