It's such a breeze to do this in 2026. Which reminds me that the first time I tried Linux what 20 years ago, with an Edgy Eft live CD. Happy 20th Linux anniversary to me! 🎂 (If you'd have told me the insane amount of hours I would spend in the next years geeking out on stuck install and esoteric command line, I'm really not sure if I would have insisted 😅)

@jeremy@mapstodon.space My spouse's perfectly functional and not all that old laptop hit "end of 10" in the fall and is now running #Kubuntu We normally think of KDE as being a somewhat "heavy" desktop user interface in the Linux world, but they are absolutely amazed at the performance boost. It's like a brand new computer. :)

@jeremy@mapstodon.space I may have a very similar old macbook air awaiting a similar fate. What model is this exactly? (Also is that a LaCie usb key?)

@jeremy@mapstodon.space I did all my Apple stuff a couple of years ago. The laptops work even better than before.

@jeremy@mapstodon.space Congrats on making it over the wall! I've been running elementaryos on my early 2014 MacBook Air for about the last year now and I'm very happy with it. Runs circles around my ten-years-newer work laptop running Windows 11.
