All Linux Things

Ok, there are a few problems and things to be aware of. First off use the software repository selector to enable certain repos you may want or need. Also in Discover, click on settings and be sure that that all necessary repos are enabled. Discover has some issues such as sometimes stating there are...

For January the weather has been moderate with mostly temps in the 40s to 50. How long it will last I dont know but hoping we might make out thru February.
