  • I ran it for a while, and loved it. Cinnamon is sleek and feels polished. The installation is really fast and not bloated with garbage software.

    Everything generally works, and the interface feels familiar.

    It is Ubuntu/Debian under the hood, so compatibility with most software is good. Bleeding edge drivers may run into issues, but most of them work with a little fiddling.

    It’s worth a try. If nothing else toss it on a USB drive and give it a test drive.




  • I recently drove eight hours on a trip. It’s brutal, but you’ll be fine.

    • download offline maps on your phone
    • get lots of music, podcasts, and things to keep entertained
    • stop every few hours to stretch your legs, use the bathroom, and maybe get something to eat

    • make sure you have your license, insurance, and registration
    • if you can afford it, dashcams are nice to have
