Seen this ad in a Facebook gaming group and I commented with the photo showing one of the items I have today.....

Watching video's, reading forums, wearing headphones and walking lightly and being extra quiet closing both doors to the adjoining bathroom as I go multiple times throughout the night / wee hours (yes, I said wee intentionally) so as not to disturb my sweet slumbering wife and, well that's about it really. 😝

😟Hope our WARLOCK will be found OK but not sounding good.
https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/18/actor-julian-sands-missing-hiker-california-mountain-baldy/
Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his roles in films like the 1985 drama “A Room With a View” and the 1989 horror entry “Warlock,” was reported missing at about 7:30 p.m. last Friday, Jan. 13. Sands had been hiking in the Baldy Bowl hiking area, approximately 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
According to a representative for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, ground crews responded and began searching the area soon after the 65-year-old Sands was reported missing. However, parties had to be pulled Saturday evening, after roughly 24 hours of searching, due to avalanche risks and trail conditions.
Sands is known to be an enthusiastic mountaineer. “I love climbing mountains, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Alps over the years, a lot of time in the Andes, Alaska and the American ranges,” Sands told ThriveGlobal in 2020.

Sure the REFACE app can have amazing results, other times though yikes, it creates these horrors.

Been tinkering a bit with ANDROID SUBSYSTEM for Windows. It does NOT use Google Playstore by default but as you can see my version does 😏 Previously, I used some emulators like NOX / BLUESTACKS /LDplayer etc but this seems better with good integration with Windows, for example the ReFace App instantly defaulted to my Desktops Logitech Webcam. I still prefer testing various LINUX distos using Vmware though or older hardware, so I will never use LINUX SUBSYSTEM for Windows and so I have removed that feature.
-
From what I have read that DOES seem to be the general use for it or the most suggested, makes sense. I was surprised how well it integrated though and definitely prefer it over stand alone emulators like LDplayer which tend to be chock full of adds etc. as well have origins in China so trustworthiness is dubious at best. Seeing the Reface app automatically pickup my webcam was the clincher for me. Now I am using a hack or patched version which allows Google Playstore just to be clear but I am using an ANDROID account I created originally just of emulation purposes anyway. I am no developer but I just cannot help but test and tinker with such things.

Just another night passing time in front of the pc. Our Christmas will be pretty calm as usual just some good food and each other’s company.

Tues night on the old 2011 Macbbok now running ZorinOS currently, I love PopOS! the most on it so far but I just cannot stop tinkering and Zorin is working great so far. It's by no means a daily driver so I don't mind testing different Distros on the hardware.

I like it fine so far for the couple hours I've tinkered. Interestingly there are "paid" options, obviously I am not using that. Paid gives you things like more customization options and themes etc. As is though there is enough to set it to look like typical Linux or more Windows or more Mac like depending what one is use to so that is nice. Placement of start, menus, app display to mimic those other Operating systems. Normal Linux storefront to download more software for free from the Linux repositories.
I will likely keep it on for some time, cannot say I like as much or better than PopOS! (that would be surprising) but I tend to keep it on for a while and use over time, it's like a third machine after my main PC and desktop so I don't spend much time with it in the grand scheme of things.
Here you can see a quick video with a nice visual tour of what to expect in the latest core edition (what I have installed)
Now this one is slightly older but longer and descriptive, I watch this guy for Linux content. Worth the watch imho.

Do you feel like any of these these are an improvement on Ubuntu? Or Mac or Windows?
-
Improvements? For the things I do Linux Mint, Zorin, Ubuntu are all pretty much the same with difference really only being in presentation or style, I just don't dig deep enough. At heart I will always be a Windows guy through and through as it is what I use the most on a daily basis for years, the rest really is just tinkering. My exposure to MacOS is only what came with this 2011 Macbook, I think I upgraded it as far as I could, if I recall it came with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and I managed to "upgrade" it as far as macOS 10.13 High Sierra after much tinkering 😆
I considered shoe horning macOS Mojave onto it which can be done but it sounded very involved and really would have sacrificed some features on a hardware level and also introduced some glitchy results at best so I stuck with High Sierra for some months getting to know it well enough to understand all the "basics" at least for general use, though I cannot say I really "liked" it more than Windows I just always have a need to understand an OS, never would I have thought I'd be editing Kext files but I even did a bit of that lol. So all this is just to say I don't really consider anything "better" I just know what I like and am more familiar with, there was a time years ago I recommended to a basic user that I thought ANDORID was "better" than IOS, I believed it at the time but the person got an Android and hated it, was totally lost and all of their friends / family were of course on APPLE devices so my recommendation was not a service to them, I cannot think like that, only what would be best for the person and not from my point of view.
Today of course after much exposure I'd take an iPAD over an ANDROID without thought 😜though I really still want a good ANDORID tablet. So to me it's up to the individual to just try and see what they like best, listen to people smarter than I comparing Linux / Windows etc, someone who uses each as a daily driver in some form because I am bias in that I will always go back to what I am more familiar and comfy with every time which for me is WINDOWS, all the other platforms for me are just tinkering. Sorry, I cannot answer better or just give you a simple straight forward answer to your simple question. That's just me and the way my brain works. I turned to Linux Distros on the Macbook because I could not take MacOS any further on it and so my thinking was the best way to get a modern and supported OS on it was to switch to LINUX, first I tried was Linux Mint If I recall and really in that respect I could have left it at that but my mind is easily swayed by fancy new distros and features, I probably tried like 5 different Linux distros, some worked, some were dead in the water. seeing that System76 own Linux machines came with their PopOS I of course had to give that a go and honestly, was very happy for the last several months, it just worked straight away, all features and function keys etc. But I just get bored and never settle so decided to take a chance and try ZorinOS.
No doubt another Distro will catch my eye in 3 months or 6 or a year from now. I WILL SAY THOUGH outside of basic use and functions which many might be happy with ANY Linux distro, even ones designed to ease the transition from Mac / Windows, there is always a learning curve or a moment when you have to get your hands dirty in Terminal or other areas that are not as intuitive as Windows or Mac. I've managed to muddle my way through thanks to people smarter than I who post the directions online, at least I AM good at Googling and following directions. 🤷♂️

Thanks guys! I know some think UGH FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS DUDE 🙄 but when you are one that only has guests like maybe a couple times a year and you are an extreme INTROVERT with anxiety as well, well I know some of you can relate. I'll get through it and I will appear happy and jovial and I will be relived and so happy when they leave as well. 🤷♂️
