I see, your Harley is a female just like my car. My girl is a 32-year-old Audi and I love her dearly. I mean, without her, I would not even get to my nearest town to buy groceries! As much as I love her and her strange, yet not damaging tics she acquired after years of maltreatment, a motorbike really is something else – quite rich coming from someone not even owning a license nor ever having been taken on a ride. I envy you!

And I see that your taste in regards to Linux distributions is similar to mine, despite me having made the full-time switch much later than you did (to be fair, I am much younger than you). While I didn't settle with CrunchBang++, which refused to run on one of my four machines, I installed Archcraft, removed the additional repository and customized it to fit my needs (and fixed some silly bugs myself). It's plain Arch by now and it runs wonderfully on all of my aging machines, even on the one that outright refuses to run Debian, yet tolerates Ubuntu. Weird, I know, but it's a cheap Asus laptop I'm not very fond of, anyway.

Before I digress, ~tffb reminded me how important it is to step away from tech regularly and simply take a walk. Have a good day, everyone!

~bartender, a jasmine tea-to-go, please!

I once tried to get the original CrunchBang distro onto my old PowerPC iMac, replacing the repositories and so on, but it didn't go well. Maybe someday I'll try it again.

Nowadays I don't have any PC's around. Only Macs. But I must say, Debian runs like a charm on my 2014 MacBook Pro. Just love it. Haven't tried Arch yet. Will probably do that in the near future. Never tried Ubuntu, and never will. I get a Microsoft feeling when I see it. Then I'm out. Instantly.

I need to test out BunsenLabs next. And I never do Live runs. Always installs. Want to compare it with #!++

Cheers, man!

Coffee for me, black. I need to wake the fuck up! Long night ahead of me.
