Mint 22.3 Upgrade - smooth as silk

Hi @pdecker,

Thanks for asking. Well, it has only been day 3 with the upgrade, but all is going very well.
Now I have to say, I am not a power user. I’m in my mid 70’s and use the PC mostly for
emails and browsing.

The biggest change I noticed are the Menu and the System Report / System Information.

But I’ve enjoyed reading about the dark mode / shades of the screen as well as the color
blue for clothing.

I prefer dark mode because I find it easier on my eyes.
My favorite color is blue, but don’t own many blue clothes and my shirts and pants are never ironed.

** Weather report form Maryland, USA **
Today high temp to be 22 F ( -5 C ).
8 inches ( 20 cm ) of snow on the ground with a covering of ice.
Car trapped in even deeper snow because of the plowing on the street.
Not left the house since Saturday.

Always enjoy Howard’s take on the issues. Everything but the snow–great golfing weather in Oregon this week, still warm enough for shorts. Unironed shorts, of course.

Sounds a bit like Iowa. We are past our snow but are now in the deep freeze. Today’s high is 19 F and that’s the highest it’s been in a couple weeks it seems like. I was just reading the top 10 lengths of time below zero in Iowa.

In January 1970 there was a 5.5 day period where the temperature never got about zero F. Then it took a week off before, once again, spending 5 more days below zero.

Looking forward to the golf weather here.

Nothing ironed for me except for those things I rarely wear. Like a funeral or wedding.

Hope you can keep it that way.

Question. Why Is it normal for the dead male to wear a suit (dont know about female never looked) when they put them in the coffin and why wood of high quality ?

Can I ask to wear my swimsuit and goggles when I go ?

Will I be cold, unlikely as I am going to a warmer place, down not up.

Are we still discussing mint or weather ?

I live near Washington, DC. We are in the same arctic blast. We are schedule to have 10 days of 32 F ( 0 C ) or below for 10 days in a row. Only the 5th time this has happen since records keeping begin back in 1872. Most of the days have been in the low to mid 20’s ( -4 C ) so far.

At this time clothes and weather seems to be more interesting.

Mint is too stable and maybe a bit boring to be interesting. I can remember only 1 major problem in the past 6 or 7 years and that may have been my fault.

I cant imagine that. Todays max here 38 deg C. Same coming for next few days.
Cant run a computer without air conditioning… but it grows great tomatoes and zucchini.

I despise dark mode and refuse to use it on any of my devices. Let there be light! :smiley:

Yorkshire joke !

In the beginning someone said

“Let there be light”

The Yorkshire man said

“Who is paying the bloody bill ?”

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Coming up to the weekend the clocks change (for some) and we get more daylight, cannot wait.
