what or if you have it takes for you to want to switch to a different distro?

Any meaningful difference that improves my use. I’m a pragmatist, not a distro zealot.

Why do you use the distro you use?

I’ve used many distros over the years (and test spin up many in virtuals to see what they are like) but keep coming back to Debian. I also like vanilla ice cream.

The US govt has done worse (cf. Phil Zimmerman)

90% of the time I use web interfaces, but I often have spotty connectivity while boondocking. So I need a client that can get/send gmail POP3 in narrow windows of connectivity.

I started with thunderbird but something (can’t remember what) wasn’t working well. Ended up with Evolution. It also syncs well to google calendar and google tasks.

What do you guys use for Windows to Linux remote access?

Putty

I want to see desktop

Some kind of VNC setup

I generally only reboot for stuff like kernel updates.

Saw the .de domain and my first thought was this was about using a potato ricer to make spätzle. I may not be normal.
