So nixos has officially killed distrohopping for me.

I am trying Debian 13 on my laptop and although I have bootstrap-scripts to set things up.

But It still feels like a step backwards.

Jazz legend Chuck Mangione, known for 'Feels So Good,' dies at 84

Jazz musician Chuck Mangione, known for his hit “Feels So Good,” has died at 84. His attorney, Peter S. Matorin, says Mangione died Tuesday at his home in Rochester, New York. He achieved international fame in 1977 with “Feels So Good,” a smooth-jazz staple. He also composed “Give It All You Got” for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Mangione released over 30 albums and won two Grammy Awards. He started his career as a bebop musician inspired by Dizzy Gillespie. In 2009, he donated memorabilia to the Smithsonian. Mangione retired in 2015, leaving a lasting legacy in jazz music.

2/ And to quote one bit from @corbet's[1] great #OSSNA25 talk:

""[…] there will be no core development conferences around #Linux and other things in the United States in the foreseeable future. […] this is a real problem […]""

Yes, this is not a formal announcement[2] – but it bears some weight, as Jonathan is well connected and among others sits in the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB).
