Sure, why not? Everyone has their own reasons for moving and climate contributes to an area's quality of life.

When I moved from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest, the benign climate here was a factor. Didn't want to live somewhere where it was blazing hot every day for months, where it was a steam bath all summer or where I had to shovel snow every winter.

See, this is the beauty of running Debian stable as your daily driver. I'll be on Gnome 43 for two more years, so by the time I upgrade to Gnome 45+ extensions should be compatible. Only half-joking, I really do avoid a lot of early adopter regressions and breakage.

I knew someone was going to ask that and I'm going to give you the lame answer that I don't remember for sure. It's been a while since I used my Chromebook, but it was a fairly mainstream application that wasn't compiled for ARM. I ended up using the Flatpak version, which worked fine but was a resource hog on an ARM Chromebook with only 4GB of RAM.

The S330 has an ARM processor, so definitely avoid that one (and any other Chromebook with an ARM processor). To be honest, I would buy a cheap Windows laptop and install Linux on that rather than fiddling with trying to get it to run on a Chromebook.

Or, as others have said, leave ChromeOS on the machine and run Linux in Crostini. If you have a reasonably speced machine it runs pretty well. Although again, I would avoid ARM as some Debian applications aren't available for ARM Chromebooks.

Cool! I loved my Palm PDA back in the day, but mine wasn't nearly as fancy as that.

In my 60's. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990's. It's likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.

I'm old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.

Buy a newer car and increase my 401k contribution. Maybe I could retire a couple of years earlier than I plan to.

Not necessarily worse, but more ambiguous than if I say something is good.

I agree with the posters who are telling you to stick with Windows if your career depends on software that isn't Linux compatible. If you want to play with Linux you can install WSL on Windows, run Linux in a VM on Windows or buy a cheap used/refurb business laptop and Linux to your heart's content on that.

I guess the reviewer doesn’t care about software updates, because Motorola’s support is abysmal.

  • The Producers (1967 Version.). Every scene with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder is unhinged brilliance, and the supportig cast is equally good.
  • Arsenic and Old Lace: I know it's a high school drama club staple, but the original film starring Cary Grant is still hilariou. And the plot was way ahead of its time.
  • Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

I occasionally come across content in my feed that I think would be of interest to one of the small communities that I participate in. Think photo or article, not something personal. Is it appropriate for me to crosspost the content? Without asking the OP? What about if I ask but the OP never responds?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
