Thanks for doing this, you rock!

I don’t need any games but want to wish everyone of you a happy new year and hope you accomplish whatever you look for in 2024!

Release date: Q1 2024

It’s coming!!

Hope you enjoy your new laptop!

I’ve been 100% Linux for a few years now and absolutely love it. It’s not perfect, every now and then things break and become somehow frustrating, but it’s a different type of frustrating compared with Windows forcing ads or Apple gaslighting you into something, we are a huge community of users that want the best for our users, not greedy investors.

In my case I’ve stuck with Mint +XFCE for old computers and Kubuntu (Ubuntu + KDE) for new ones. Tried others but Ubuntu/Mint “just works” and eases a ton of pain, I haven’t got much free time to bother.

In terms of keeping him safe online look into some content filtering for the whole home network, either paid or self-hosted.

Projects that act upon physical stuff are the most rewarding. Something simple such as building a simple Python script that interacts with a smart home API and turns switches on/off or changes light colors around the house are relatively simple and require no hardware/mechanics if you’re not into robotics, soldering or circuit boards.

You’ve got a great kid :)

Sorry, I laughed harder than I should have just imagining the whole thing.

Thank you for telling your story, I’ll think about your rachet strap whenever I remember about my Coke can and that will definitely provide some comfort knowing there’s just some crazy nonsensical people out there.

I once got my window crashed to steal my radio plus a warm can of Coke I had in case of a long drive sleepiness emergency. The radio I get it, but the warm Coke… dunno why but I still think about it decades later.

Where and how has this poll been shared?

Right now Sync is at 29% which makes me think the results are skewed if the poll has been predominantly shared in the sync community.
