Thanks for noting this. We are so accustomed to reading comments as of a point in time, but their meaning is also impacted by when they are made. In this case, a future historian m…

I hope to see it. RIP

I just bought a Lenovo laptop and wiped Windows off it / installed Linux for the first time. As largely a newcomer to Linux, it was very smooth. Had some issues getting the wifi to…
