2020 has brought plague, discomfort, loss, and an excuse to have 4 Linux PC's in my house.
2 kids in elementary school a wife bouncing from working at home to the office and back.....and me.
Everyone is working, or learning from home, and it's just intense enough that all of them need there own workstation, and webcam. Kids don't want to share, wife can't talk to clients with kids "not sharing" in the back ground and I'm struggling to find work at all, so I'm not buying anything let alone 4 windows licences.
I've used suse/opensuse since suse 7.9 or 8....... I still have a box set of 8.1 pofessional I bought at best buy!
So I've had people rolling their eyes at me since the turn of the century....
Here comes 2020 A-HOLES!
I set everyone up on opensuse 15.2 beta needed a higher kernel for the webcams/mics and I don't have time to take care of 4 tumbleweeds all on different hardware.
All on KDE, turned on all they eye candy I could find, tweaked the desktops to look mackish. Turned off every service I possibly could, and knocked the swaps down to 128 mbs, to drive all the memory use to ram. Everything purred.
Everyone loved it my daughter was even bragging to her friends on zoom that she has a Linux...lol. we had to send a screen shot of her desktop to her teacher as part of a class project, the teacher was confused.....intrigued....but confused.
So thank you Linux devs everywhere, every distro, app, kernel developer, and hobbyist.
And my kids school district went with MS Teams that actually has a native Linux port, so I never thought I would say this but.......thank......you..........Microsoft.....?
Btw I in no way make light of or trivialize any real suffering anyone has had in 2020 with my humor, just wanted a funnier story for this year.
Thanks again everyone.
