started out with cp/m, then msdos, all the windows flavors till win-11, Ibm Risc-6000 Unix, now Linux Mint. Been at this since the mid 70’s. Hardware wise old IBM System-3’s then midrange mini’s both DEC & IBM, all PC flavors. Now decades later using an old bastardized PC with intel motherboard running linux and happy as a clam with it. Regression at its best lol.

Thank you for sharing that. I run Mint too. I have one install of 18.3 cinnamon that is 10 years old with absolutely no issues and I have never had to run an update on it yet.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. :)
