Given the events this month, these signs were especially heartening to spot today.
I brought home an old Lenovo workstation from work to eventually use as my home server, and am playing around with Lubuntu for the first time. I’m used to working at home with a single board Linux laptop and Raspberry Pis for servers, so working with Linux on a desktop again is feeling very speedy.
