Bad news: Internet on laptop suddenly stopped working, no warning.
Good news: This was the kick in the booty to finally reinstall #Manjaro on my computer, this time with the DE #Budgie . First impression is Budgie's somewhat basic and boring (less so than #Deepin though, which I didnt like), but so far it JustWorkz[tm]. Can't wait for the free time to install all my usual programs and see how it handles!
