Hi Fred. Always nice to have a new face.
What distros have you hopped? 
Bonjour @neuro, for the time beeing i’m on Endeavour (aur…)
& Tumbleweed (German -?- a "stable-rolling !) and TTos (Buster 10.4 & i added many lines on sources-list)
Soon i’ll try Siduction, not that stable Deb, based on experimental sid…
In case “of”, files are backed-up on 3 external hdd,
readable & less than 5years old + smart activated.
I’m not a gamer so i’m not using uge amount of ram
6gb–>16gb, switched to ssd since 2015.
Not that keen on security, i avoid kodachi, blackarch, kali… Yet, apparmor is running so does firewalld or ufw.
Quite fed up with to many conkies and my main desktop
is kde ! Intel I3/I5/I7 …HP/DELL/ASUS…All my machines are 2nd hand, i change drive/ram/screen
Otherwise “distr.watch” for iso & LQ for infos !
I quited Ub.ntu when it was bought by Canonic.l &
try to be Linux-unix evengelist on my lost side of the world! FF68~76,Falkon,Midori,Tor but no VPN (I must have 700+movies downloaded long time ago and many dvd, external player)
Cheers to all
Fred.
Welcome to our forum. All are welcome here @jonobacon,@sil and myself have historical links to Ubuntu: I was part of the volunteer community though believe both Jono and Stuart were on the pay-roll.
That said, while many of us are Linux users (some developers) it is not a requirement.
We talk about anything that seems important to us and have covered a wide range of topics. Feel free to contribute to any ongoing discussion, or start your own.
Our only rule: Don’t be a dick.
You know something? I only just noticed this comment. Ubuntu was never “bought” by Canonical, Canonical are the company that developed Ubuntu in the first place 
Oups…My mistake !
I’m no Ubunt# user anyway, so…
For the time beeing i’m “struggling” with “Elive”, the beta one, in 32b.
I’m trying to find a way to cross-grade it for i have things needing a 64b client.
Last time, i just killed the distro !!!
Shame, i find it great and i installed a T. or so of datas
& /home is not separate…
I have backups, but i dont like fu*k**g things up
even though i’m using official tuts (from Debian)…
I may use Kubuntu next time
Thanks for sharing
Best
Fred
