Then I ran RedHat for a while, because that’s what my friends were running, then Mandrake, then Knoppix, then Debian. Loved Debian and AfterStep.\n\nAbout 10 years ago I moved to Ubuntu because I had a hardware issue that was solved in Ubuntu but was a pain to fix in Debian. I liked that as well.\n\nBut this year I bought a second-hand ThinkPad T490, and it was randomly locking up (mouse still moves but nothing else responds). Googling and trying to troubleshoot by looking through logs wasn’t working, and I’m pretty sure it’s not a pure hardware issue, because I’ve got it as a dual boot system because my girlfriend’s son uses windows on it, and hasn’t had any issues.\n\nSo yesterday, I decided to back up my home directory and install Debian Forky. It feels like coming home. And so far, no lock-ups…",
