You know me, never satisfied standing still and to be honest, Pop!_OS has been less stable of late. Every update was bringing me more problems, so I figured it was time to try something different.
I waffled between ElementaryOS and Debian. I went back and forth a couple of times in one day and settled on Debian. Debian is the base OS for many major distributions, and is more flexible in general than Elementary.
I installed the Debian "testing" version with Gnome preconfigured. I then installed Nvidia proprietary drivers... and hacked away at odds and ends that I like to have on my systems, including fleshing out a conky.
There were a few issues and in fact two of the security repositories were broken from the start. I had to disable them in order to do anything with my system. Once disabled I was able to move on and get my system set up to a more or less stable configuration.
The reason I did NOT choose ElementaryOS was because I knew I would have to do a few backend hacks to get the UI where I wanted it it. EOS is gorgeous, no doubt, but there are some things I want to have that Elementary does not provide out of the box. I will probably hang with Debian for a week and then if the whim strikes, install Elementary.
Oh, there is ONE thing that is not Debian-specific... and that is the tracker-miners/tracker-extract processes. I don't know what triggers it exactly but they wail the tar out of my system (probably indexing everything for the first time)... I end up with a freeze and sometimes even a deadlock/hang because they consume ALL 32 GBs of my RAM AND ALL of my Swap space. That is absurd and should NEVER happen. Gnome team needs to work on that.

Contacts, DeepinOS and Pop!_OS
Made it to my follow up eye exam. He (eye doctor) was not completely happy with the fit of the right lens, so he is going to adjust that, and happily is significantly strengthening the prescription in my final pair. Looking forward to getting them next week.
I had an itch to try another linux. I booted into KaOS, Neptune6 and Neon... and then when I had my fill of KDE, I decided to try DeepinOS again (it had been awhile). Deepin has had many updates and tweaks so I was looking forward to it. I installed Deepin only to find that the interface is STILL choppy and glitchy. I keep hoping it will become smooth but... no luck. It is still a gorgeous interface but the graphical glitches when panels slide out or the way things do not open or slide smoothly, even with my NVidia drivers installed for my 1080, discourages me.
So... I downloaded the latest ISO build of Pop again. About to install it. I hope I have learned my lesson and will never do this again.

Brief nightmare
So in June, the creators of one of my favorite games decided to create a new launcher, presumably more secure or something to that effect.
Well, the new launcher did not work with WINE. I tried to install Windows in a virtual machine but could not get the accelerated graphics and such to actually work, in fact could not even install 64 bit version of Windows.
So I bemoaned my fate loudly and... wiped linux and installed Windows 10.
I am not a Windows 10 hater. I like most operating systems. But I really prefer my linux. For a week or so I worked with Windows... then I decided to dual boot. My install setup was not ideal so I needed to start from scratch. It took me several tries (mostly because I did not want to read "the instructions" and just plowed ahead aimlessly). On the third or fourth try, I successfully installed Windows followed by Pop!_OS and I am happy.
The downside is that if I want to play StarStableOnline I need to reboot into Windows. Still it could be worse!

Why am I a Pop!_OS advocate?
I write a lot about pop (looking back on previous posts). Why is that? Well honestly, since the BeOS came out almost 2 decades ago, Pop!_OS has become my favorite desktop operating system.
Pop! just works. That's really all there is to it. It installs and updates flawlessly. It handles my NVidia card like a champ. I can play many of my favorite games either through Steam/Proton or PlayOnLinux/WINE.
If have been using Linux off and on (as well as BSD) for a decade or so. I have used Mac OS 7,8,9 and X... I have used OS/2... mostly WARP... I have used AmigaOS/Workbench... and of course I have used Windows in all its iterations.
I like Linux. It is a decent kernel and the posix libraries and interfaces that are wrapped into it are solid. I enjoy the WIDE range of software (most of it free) that is available. I enjoy the modern UIs that are available.
Over the years the "year of linux" has been a running joke. But to be straight forward, Linux is ready. It is just a "different" OS and people need to get used to it, kind of like switching from Windows to a MAC or the other way around. There are differences and similarities. But in the end Linux meets all of my needs and more and it is as cheap as air.
On top of that, POP!_OS is just the distro (distribution of linux) that speaks to me personally. I enjoy its look and feel, it's handling of proprietary drivers, its stability, etc. It is solid.

Downside of end of vacation and also Still on Pop
Took a red-eye home, got no sleep for 24 hours, then I think I caught something from the coughing folks on the airplane. Icky sore throat. Stayed home today, hence two blog posts in one day. Not sure if I should tough it out and see how my throat goes or just go to the doctor now?
Meanwhile, OS update. Still on Pop_OS!. Enjoying it thoroughly. I did download the new Lx 4 version of openmandriva to try... I will load it on a stick and see how it looks. But I won't change. Right now Pop does everything I want it to do... and I have it configured to be what I want it to be.

Pop and Fedora and Stuff
I have been running pop 90% of the time, sometimes trying out new distros. So a week ago I saw that Pop_OS! was updated to match the latest release of Ubuntu and decided to perform a full upgrade.
The upgrade process worked but for some reason it felt more like Ubuntu than Pop... (all in my head, I am sure). So I decided, now was a good time to try out Fedora 30 which was recently released.
So I did. I installed Fedora 30. I think without a doubt this was the worst release of Fedora in awhile. Performance was sketchy. My tracker processes were constantly failing. Base memory usage was > 2 GB. Right now, running multiple applications on Pop I am using 2.2 GB (multiple terminals, browsers, etc.) I do not have tracker failures. Everything is smooth.
Prior to this I had sung praises over how smooth and performant Fedora was, but not this time.
I did a full install of Pop (twice actually as I did not like the partitioning they default to and they do not allow you to interfere very much in that regard). Back to what I enjoyed for 90% of the past year with linux.
I haven't had a lot of time to write lately as work has been taking between 10 and 14 hours of my day recently, consistently. But to be honest, the work I am doing right now is fun! So the days are flying by.
Well, that is about it for now. God bless you an keep you and yours safe!

Welllll you know me...
Fedora was fun. But I am back to Pop. Could not help it. It just feels better for some reason.
Different theme for me... a little bright though.
So any linux users out there who have successfully installed and run Lollypop? Any tips, because I just wanted to try it but... when I kick it off to scan my music folder it hangs my system.
I don't have to use Lollypop, I can use one of a myriad of music apps but... I had heard good things about it so I wanted to take it out for a spin.
I could try building it from scratch.

General updates and ramblings...
Still on Pop!_OS. I recently tried (in live mode) Manjaro Openbox, Mabox, Manjaro Deepin... and I just cannot get into them. MX Linux is still out there as one of my favorites though. But I don't know... Pop has just been THERE and out of my way. It isn't super special in any way. It just has enough tweaks and conveniences that set it apart from Ubuntu.
I really like XFCE and distros that use it. I am not a huge fan of KDE even though I did use it for a year a number of years ago. Openbox seems usable... but I remember when GNOME 3 came out I really did not like it. I have bounced around Mac OS, Linux and Windows for awhile now but when Windows 7 came out I moved to that and stayed on it for years, through to Windows 10 (I even own a copy of Windows 10 Pro now). But I have always preferred unix-like, posix-standard-meeting systems over Windows or OS/2, etc.
I am rambling. But where I was going with that previous paragraph was that perhaps getting used to Windows 8 and then Windows 10 interface along with the more recent versions of Mac OS X, GNOME is no longer a "shock" to my system. I don't know. But I even like it now.
I think that Fedora puts out a decent GNOME 3 workstation but it is more difficult (ie. I am lazy) to configure graphics drivers and to get Steam working the way I like it. Manjaro GNOME is also very good.
I could hunt around for the "best G3 linux" and see what else is out there, but so far Pop!_OS has been very good.
I really want to like Deepin. I have tried Deepin OS, I have tried Manjaro Deepin, but I just can't bring myself to stick with it. It has some gorgeous design elements but... it just feels a little rough to me. Maybe I will play with a few more distros over the rest of my vacation.
Vacation is almost over and then it is back to work. Of course I developed an ear infection (again) over the holidays. :) Alas. Didn't really slow us down though. We got to hang out with family and do some other fun things. Sandi and I went on a short trip with some other Mini Cooper enthusiasts.
We joined a local Mini club and they did a run up to Prescott via Wickenberg and Peeples Valley. The city center is all lit up. There was also a gingerbread house competition at the local casino. While we were there Sandi and I ate at a somewhat famous restaurant (we've eaten there before) and enjoyed the evening before heading back down to Phoenix.
That's all I have for now! Shall write more soon.

...Annnnnnnnnd back to Pop.
Yeah so I tried out a few distros again after breaking my Pop!_os build... I KNOW that Pop is basically a gussied up version of Ubuntu, but it feeeeeels different! I cannot explain it. It should not feel any different (except for obvious visual and widget differences) but it does.
So anyway, back to POP!!!!!!! And I am happy. I will resist upgrading my kernel to the latest and greatest builds. :)

Oops! I did it again...
I can't believe I used that as the title to this post...
Anyway, so I ran MX for a total of a few hours and realized... I've actually become attached to GNOME. I can't believe it really. When GNOME 3 came out I was totally turned off by it.
Now I have actually become fond of it, even though it sucks up RAM like crazy.
Sooooo... I am running Manjaro 18 Gnome version. Closer to Pop!_os. Still have the latest Pop!_os image downloaded and ready to burn... just in case. :D I am thinking of poking around for "the best gnome implementations" for linux distros.
But I like Manjaro because it has some pretty huge repositories, allows for the latest drivers (MX is still behind on Nvidia drivers), and it generally looks nice.
So we shall see... if anyone has any recommendations let me know.

Mini and Pop
Still on Pop!_os, probably a record for me, except back in the day when Ubuntu was first released and the year I used PC-BSD for work. I know it is mostly just a gnome distro but something about it just feels ... I don't know, it just stays out of your way.
I recently updated my 4.19 kernel to a point release. Working fine. I DID have ONE freeze episode. I had been playing Borderlands 2 early in the day, but just paused the game and left it running while we went out to run errands, then went to a church event... so basically for hours. I came back, fired it up to finish a quick mission and it froze. So, not a huge deal since basically I kind of abused my poor system for hours. I give this one a pass. :)
Our Mini Coopers are great. My wife's is a Countryman Park Lane, not much more to say about it except that it is a pleasure to drive in. I've been driving top-down in my Roadster every day. So much fun!
I will update more about the Mini soon.
...off to work.

Pop!_os Kernel update
Told you about my upgrade of the kernel recently, well that kernel had a number of issues regarding video / system freezes. A new kernel came out not long after and had a number of changes but none of them screamed "fix for video freezes" to me...
Even so, I have not had (knocks on wood) a freeze since then. No idea why. Makes little sense to me. But for reference:
Linux 4.19.6-041906-generic #201812010432 SMP Sat Dec 1 09:34:07 UTC 2018
I *did* have one strange thing happen, while doing several things which included backing up files, downloading files and installing software my system started slowing down drastically.
Network showed fine, I could view directories in my file viewer fine... so I rebooted and when it came up I had systemd logging errors flashing across... so I rebooted AGAIN and since then everything has been fine. No files lost, as far as I can tell. It was just strange.
ANYWHO... for the most part the system has been running very well.

Continuing with Pop!_os
So the other day I wanted to try the latest release of Manjaro Gnome (18.0) so I did a backup of my home directory/sub-directories and installed Manjaro.
I am familiar with Manjaro albeit the XFCE version. It was my OS prior to going to Pop! It installed easily and I fired it right up and began configuring the things I use most frequently. But honestly? While there are some aspects of the implementation of Gnome I missed, it didn't really offer any better performance or features compared to Pop! So today I wiped it and reverted to Pop!_os, restored my backups (or at least part of them, game saves mostly since I already store my major folders on other disks) and then went a little overboard.
Well, not REALLY overboard but, I decided I wanted to try and update the kernel. This felt risky since I believe System76 does some kernel tweaking, but I figured why not? So I installed uvuu, selected the latest linux kernel and clicked install (and also had the grub configuration rewritten). When it completed (without error) it told me to reboot. I did, and well... in all honesty I thought it would fail miserably and I would have to reinstall Pop!_os but... it worked! I am now running (per uname -rsv) Linux 4.19.5-041905-generic #201811271131 SMP Tue Nov 27 16:33:46 UTC 2018.
It has the module[s] for Nvidia drivers, my network seems to be fine, and I could almost swear memory usage is down on average, at least from what I remember from HTOP over the previous weeks. But without recorded data that is hearsay.
I will have to play around with it for a week to see how it really does. But so far so good.

Still on Pop!_os...
Honestly, I am surprised myself!
Pop!_os is looked at by many as an Ubuntu re-spin. I think it really does offer some significant tweaks over Ubuntu to customize the look and feel and workflow a little, yet it still offers the ability to customize Gnome to be more how you prefer it.
The color scheme[s] are good, and are attractive without being distracting.
For the most part, 99% of the time, it just works. I HAVE had a number of the infamous "video system freezes". Those are the mysterious freezes that occur while watching some video or even playing very old games in Wine. Has SOMETHING to do with the video aspect of the system. I had thought it was perhaps the scheduler used in the linux kernel. Still might be. Don't know for sure.
It is frustrating when it happens but... I still am not sure what triggers it. It could be during times of low CPU or Memory usage, and sometimes during high memory or CPU usage. Doesn't seem consistent.
I thought about building a different kernel but, I've read that System76 has modified the kernel a little... so not sure I want to mess with that.
Recently I have downloaded Antergos, Namib, Sabayon and Gentoo and am considering messing with those. But ... I hesitate because Pop! has been pretty nice to work with and I have had no issues (except the aforementioned) with it at all... it updates seamlessly, has all the apps I need on it, I have the latest version of Steam running on it and the games I have chosen to play so far work great... I have PlayOnLinux up and running with one game I like on it, need to get Diablo installed though and that is always a challenge.
Anyway, I can heartily recommend Pop!_os as your daily driver because it has snuck up on me as far as the amount of time I have been using it, and have been CONTENT with it. That's the key... I have distro-hopped a lot, but since I have been using Pop! I have not had the urge to do so as much.
Well, good night! I'll update soon.

Pop!_os and politics
I won't say much about politics but, much as Jesus warned about how belief in Him would turn families inside out because some members simply would not understand or tolerate difference, much the same could be said about the political state of our union.
And I will stop there.
POP! Wow, I just realized that it has been a stealthy 3 weeks of Pop!_os. The operating system as just stayed out of my way. I have been pleasantly surprised that I have suffered the dreaded "freeze" only twice (watching youtube videos seems to wreak havoc somewhere low-level, causing the system to die) over the past month, so that is good.
Updates have occurred regularly and without issue. I have made it a practice to reboot whenever it seems like a major library or GUI or Kernel-related file is touched. That seems to work out fine.
All in all I still find the distro to be attractive, clean, functional. It feels well-worn and comfortable.
