Intel Nuc - Ubuntu and Manjaro

Image
Well Must be suffering Facebook withdrawal. Ditching the account because it eats time. Then I just don't get on and do things. I just fume and rant. Just what the polies want. So it goes tonight. Bought a NUC 8i7hvk I think. 16Gb of ram 500 ssd primary drive 1Tb secondary drive. Lots of ports. funny skull on the top when its on. Bought it to use in our studio with a somewhat limited power supply. Too limited. So I bought it down to Tassie to set up and copy crap loads of files to. It was clean when I got it. so initially I put ubuntu 1804 on it to be safe. Nice but ... Went to 19.10 ditto. so now it Manjaro KDE. Switch off safe boot in bios and all is OK. Simple install no BS. Love it - has a bit more jest - computers are boring they need zest. lets see how we go.... Added Cinnamon  and adjusted the defaults. Wine runs Aeon1 and Scrivner3 wonderfully. Zotero just runs so.. I have productive potential.
