Yeah, I'm not an apple fanatic or anything, but I do find it to be a little bit nicer to use than Linux - only because it seems every linux distro has rough edges of some type. Stuff like scaling that works ok in wayland but not in X11, except wayland doesn't work well for me at all and I'm pretty much forced into X11. I can live with out it, but my eyes are not getting any better.

Well, here it's been raining for about a week.. non stop, and still raining. Which is starting to get rather annoying - unable to dry clothes, but mostly reuben loves to go for walks outside and is getting a little antsy being stuck inside for so long. Plus we've all been sick, I'm on the tail end of it now, I think Reuben might be, but my wife is just starting to get sick.
