Visiting my son Connor in Pittsburgh this weekend. It was 75 degrees today! We set up his new PC with Pop-OS, his second introduction to Linux. In preparation I installed the same on my PC, and I gotta say, it’s pretty good!

I’ve mostly used Ubuntu when I’ve used Linux since the early 2000s, when I got a CD with Ubuntu at a Staples in Dundalk. I believe it was Ubuntu 6.06? I’m not sure.

Connor seems excited to have a new PC and I’m excited that he will be learning Linux. I hope he finds and appreciates open source software as much as I do. He’s already planning on installing FreeCAD.

We had a walk to a nearby park and flew the drone for the first time. It was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’m ever going to be a great drone pilot.

The pickleball courts were locked, I suppose for winter

My boy, probably tired of me taking photos of him lol

After the park, thunderstorms rolled in, so we played Antichamber for a bit. Fantastic game, 10/10 would recommend. We also troubleshot his 3D printer for a bit, but that’s working great now.
