@jextxadore That's my situation with this Air. It has been used heavily every day for five years and has been the least irritating laptop I have had the pleasure to use. Mind you, my experience with portables go all the way back to the original Compaq portable and the Kaypro so the sample size is huge :)
Going to compromise with myself. I'll wipe and re-install this weekend but I will put this thing out to pasture when the new ones ship with Sierra.
I'm not sure if it is a result of growing up rural and poor but I cannot stop thinking like I am still in that situation. I can easily replace this laptop without a second thought yet my mind keeps saying, "Wipe and re-install. Don't waste it. You know where the keys are so the missing letters on the keycaps are pointless. Etc"
@matigo Years ago, Red Hat 8 branched off and added a lot of embedded scripting support to their GNOME desktop. Loved the idea. So easily customized.Then, they just abandoned it when Red Hat 9 came out. My time with Linux is filled with such false hope moments.
@matigo I've got MATE running on a RHEL 7 VM. I like where they are going with it. GNOME 3 and Unity give me hives.
@matigo The biggest problem I have with desktop Linux is the desktop. I spend more time trying to make them palatable than actually getting any work done. Been that way since they moved from GNOME 2 and KDE 3.5.
@matigo I was using the analogy more as a referral to communicating with the dead. Loved ADN but once you stop building it, it slowly wastes away.

@larand It would be akin to Facebook cross-posting to MySpace or something.
