I currently run Budgie Desktop (specifically Budgie Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). IIRC, it's based on Gnome (not sure which version) - but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe this isn't what you like - but to me, it's the closest I&#x27

I split my /home partition off from the root - separate drives, in fact. This helped save my bacon (I posted elsewhere here if you want to read about it). Basically, it allowed me to "upgrade in place" by using a new drive fo

My first Ubuntu install was 8.04 LTS - I'm pretty sure it was made clear then how it worked and that it was a more preferred install for "stability-over-time" reasons. It was also a revelation to me - easiest install ever. Pr

One of the problems with these systems - maybe they've solved it by now? - is that they bundle up virtually everything for a running system, including the GUI - so any custom theme you have outside of the "package" doesn&#x27

The secret to making this more bearable is to install your OS on a partition separate from /home - put home on it's own partition (ideally, different drives). I did this - and it saved my bacon recently. I had a 14.04 LTS install,

Rather than just synthetic fur - imagine a coat (furry or not) that is "alive" and generates it's own heat to keep you warm. Maybe it "feeds" on your sweat and dead skin cells? Or you feed it at night in some manner

Many Walmarts allow overnight camping - but not all (and the ones that do are starting to change that policy as well). But you're right; most everywhere else is either quasi-legal, or require money to access.

I agree that when done right (ie, following a proper SMD reflow temperature "curve"), all that should happen is the solder should flow and not much else. Even so, just as I wouldn't reuse a pan or pot I had created sugar cand
