...sky's not the limit...
So sorry I don't get on and comment much.
I am gone most of the day these days ... my own creative drive is absorbed by work.
I try to pop on to check for PMs and or PRs. I WILL start looking at and commenting on some of the poetry and art sitting in my box.
Some links that describe my mindset:

So many people have left
I pop on every once in awhile, sometimes I check to see if any of the people I used to follow, or who follow me are active at all. But it seems more than a few of them have left dA pretty much for good, they removed all their deviations. :( Makes me sad.
Back to Mac?
Well, I am an OS buff as well as a computer hardware buff... I have been building my own computers for awhile now, but when I saw that Apple was moving to RISC and their own CPU to boot... had to do it. So it is time to go back to Apple! I picked up a new Mac Mini M1, and an OWC expansion... Excited to get it. Coming a week after Christmas. If you haven't read up on the technology, go take a look at it. I used Mac Mini's for YEARS before I started building out my own boxes because of their simplicity and because of the unix-based Mac OS X. Prior to that my favorites were an old Amiga workstation, power PCs... etc. I had home-built Be boxes too. I just enjoy the tech. So, despite the fact I will be taking a hit in my Steam games account (many of the games won't work well, at least for the first year or so I am sure), I am going to go for it. I will post pics when I get it.
Ubuntu to Pop
Well now! Remember I said I thought I would try giving Ubuntu a year? That was before a Snap install/then deinstall hosed the entire system. Yes that is right. I installed some Snaps to do some work, once the work was done I decided to remove one of the Snaps and my system started behaving oddly. So, I rebooted.
Guess what never came back?
I was a little unhappy with that.
Pop!_OS (based on Ubuntu with tweaks) released their own 20.04 Beta so I decided to install that (I've used Pop for nearly a year solid at one point when it first came out - good distro). Pop enables flatpak but I do not believe snaps are on by default, but to be s
Ubuntu 20.04 Beta
Decided to check out the almost released next LTS (long term support) version of Ubuntu. When Ubuntu first came out, I hopped on board and ran it as my linux distro for several years. But things happened, stuff was changed, blah blah and I stopped using Ubuntu. In fact I am pretty sure I haven't really touched it in over a decade, except maybe I did install Kubuntu and ran it briefly.
It installed easily through the ubiquity installer. I installed alongside of Windows 10 (gotta keep Windows around for a handful of games, and sometimes to test ideas for work). Canonical has made some changes to the default theme, including a new icon set
