Thank you kind sir for the effort, love and work you put into your craft. Godspeed.

Sounds like a US home lol Welcome to modern quality control where things went downhill instead of up like modern society thinks. You can actually quantify this. Look at sales of vintage and old goods. Their prices are very high and have a high demand. Modern plastic and construction has gotten of poorer quality.

Insulation well good insulation is wildly expensive but saves most of all its the largest expense usually.

I wouldn’t waste your time with a half ass product. I’ve done quite a bit if research into this. I find Garmin to have the best overall watches with a good privacy policy last I looked. Make fake account and log no important info in that matches you such as age leave blank and other main identifiers. Even obscure gender if you want. Opt for a watch that has no microphone and disable gps if you want. Check out the Garmin tactix 7 I believe us their current. Ability to completely wipe the watch with a button. Stealth mode with no wireless connectivity for military. Its very legit in how it operates. 28 day battery life even longer if you get the solar glass.

Shop second hand for price reduction. Their warranty is second to none, don’t like that color they change it, don’t like the band they’ll send you any bands you want, have an issue, total replacement, they even let you keep the original until the new one arrives so your not out anything. Not a shill just a no frills company from my experience.

This is the way.

I’m definitely into cinnamon more than the other two. Thanks for the link. I was about to try the XFCE until I seen that. Glad I didn’t waste my time. I’ve got decent hardware so not too concerned about the extra ram etc. I just with cinnamon has KDE customization without getting buggy once you pile on 10 different extensions.

What’s the difference between this and cinnamon?

While I hate windows as much as the next person. I still keep it around for some off the wall games that need anticheat. Don’t sweat the downvotes. Windows spyware sucks but not everyone needs tails and whonix/qubes.

I use bitwarden. Are they not good anymore? Data Breach?

When windows updates it can totally break grub as it tries to flush out anything other than windows by default.

Boot up from a USB drive that’s what I did. I was just about to add the merge list in the update manager as well. Keep me posted if it didn’t work. Best of luck.

Yea that’s it. I couldn’t remember what the options were and I was going to sleep. I’m back online and if you give me a few minutes I can do my best to help. Clear all the options you can and try running sudo apt get update. Sometimes where there’s an input output error it can also be a hardware issue such as a bad block on the drive preventing anything from writing to that block. Go to disks. Find your main drive and repair it, then check it the option above repair. After those two repeat the remove dependencies and duplicate/foreign packages. Finally sudo update. See it that helps.

I fixed this issue on mine and it took me a few tries, while I’m not currently on my PC you should be able to find some tab along the page you can change the mirrors and it says something like clear packages and there’s a few options on a small boxed list deal. Perhaps something like remove duplicate dependencies I really can’t remember the boxes so don’t quote me. You clear all of them that mention remove or clear. Change mirrors then Sudo update your APT then I switched back to the main Jammy is it? Worked for me. I could better help once I’m back to my computer. It happened to me a few weeks ago as well so my memory is hazy. If your still having trouble in 12 hours once I am able to get to my computer I will help you best I can.
