Was it a flawless transition? Kinda.

It would have been better if I’d spent some money on new disks. But I kinda got the shits up when i opened the start menu and there was yet another notification bubble on the gamified thing where you collect Microsoft points for somethingarather by doing something. Then there was a thing about unicorns. And then Copilot was back, telling me that with AI I wouldn’t have endless search results in my start menu.

I don’t want search results in my start menu, unless it’s an application I have installed on my computer.

So anyway. A bit of a hiccough with my ownCloud and I’m syncing that down from the cloud again (sorry, old-old work hosting it still, but your upload is going to be about 700GB in the next couple of days (you have my number if you want me to stop)).

Email is rolling in. Signal and Whatsapp are linked. Browser stuff is all working fine. 1Password was disturbingly easy with the QR code scan. I’ve mounted the NAS drives. Music is playing.

Todo:

  • tidal-dl
  • yt-dlp
  • Torrent client until I set up a “proper” setup

So far so good.

This is the first time that I’ve used Ubuntu and apt on a properly powerful machine, and I’m kinda blown away by how fast it all goes. I’m used to being able to read what packages are, but no chance with a desktop CPU, 32GB of RAM and an M.2 disk.
