  • Any Ubuntu affiliated distro is required to use snaps, so Kubuntu will use them. Startup times are terrible, but running performance should be the same.

    Another simple distro to try would be either Mint or Pop-OS. Both are still Ubuntu based, but without snaps

    Mint’s interface (Cinnamon) is similar to Windows, Pop-OS uses a modified GNome








  • I wanted to go this route, but for the current stage of my life, I couldn’t go that granular. I currently have a spreadsheet that keeps track of totals in each bank account (short term, long term, college, retirement savings and checking) as well as total (net) income and expenditures (broken into “essential” and “non-essential”).

    I then setup formulas to calculate total saved, (as well as necessary only saved, in case of financial stress to see what we can cut out), total assets, and compares those assets to the previous month and year.

    While I want to get more granular, that is all I can do for now.




  • Yep, I’m 36, mid Atlantic US, started driving stick when I was 18. I inherited this little Geo Metro for college, so it was learn stick or no car. (I really liked that car dispite it not having air conditioning, no tachometer, and manual everything)

    Next car I bought was a manual. Now since my spouse can’t drive stick we only have automatics.

    Whenever we need a new car it’ll be electric, which unfortunately (by design) are not manuals. So no more stick for me.
