It's Saturday what have you watched this week? in c/[email protected]

Yes! Me too... I've watched series 5 but not 6. They manage the transition to a new DCC guv' pretty well. Same production values.

I am, however, waiting for time to erode the perceived value of series 6 on DVD.....

I've been re watching 'Unforgotten' on DVD, a British crime drama TV series. Beautifully paced, well written, well acted and engrossing even on the third watch.

What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

To answer your initial question with a personal success story I can recommend a supplier in Spain called Slimbook.

https://slimbook.com/en/

I bought one of their Evo 14 models with Mint installed for a mate and everything worked straight out of the box.

I'm in the UK so delivery was very good but as expected with customs etc. Comms & service from Slimbook were excellent.

The machine is excellent and works flawlessly. Configuration on their site is a doddle. There are a few reviews of their machines around.

(I've used Linux on various machines for twenty years - currently a mini PC, an old MacBook and three HP Streams; I've installed linux for friends & customers.)

I'll either buy a Framework or Slimbook next. Hope that helps.

Well worth a read. Interesting, pithy & informative. Thanks.

Yes! Sorry about that... Although there was a grey/brown/sludge colour that was worse than avocado. Real avocados though were rarer than avocado bathroom suites.

Sweets were rationed when I was born. Sometime later I sold avocado bathroom suites...

Any close alternatives for green and red Tabasco? in c/[email protected]

Pleasure! You've inspired me to change my habits & look beyond Tabasco too.

Music Monday - what have you been listening to? in c/[email protected]

The Flying Lizards: The Flying Lizards, and Pastel Blues: Nina Simone... DVDs.

The Flying Lizards is wonderful, but
Pastel Blues is just incredible & fantastic & heart rending.

Still interesting, thanks.
