As a developer, I find it pretty frustrating having to deal with constant hardware updates. By the time you get something released that takes advantage of the hardware you have, you’re already at least a generation or two behind.

This past weekend, I picked up a little wooden craft kit. All the pieces were pre-cut and I just had to glue and fit things together. I put it together yesterday and I can confirm, it was the most satisfying thing I’ve built in ages.
For me, it was Mandrake, I think it was back around 2000. I played so much Tux Racer on that machine. However, after they switched the branding to Mandriva, the OS started to run pretty poorly for me around that time. I stayed away from Linux entirely until around 10 years ago when I friend introduced me to Mint. It’s been my main ever since, though I’ve played with others since then, like OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, and most recently, Debian and EndeavourOS.
I guess Paul Atreides will be journeying to save the world from Shinra and Sephiroth. That shit is gonna get weird.
On my desktops and laptops, I’ve been slowly migrating from Mint to EndeavourOS. Mint will always have a special place in my heart and I don’t think I’ll ever abandon it completely, but I’ve been falling in love with Endeavour lately. The Arch ecosystem had a bit of a learning curve, but once it clicked, it felt great. And then for servers, I’ve finally switched away from Ubuntu over to Debian. The familiar environment without all the bloat feels perfect to me.
