<p>Here we go! This is the final 200 Glasgow shipment for the original Crowd Supply pre-order batch! This finalizes the Crowd Supply campaign! It took a lot of time and effort to get here. Thank you everyone for you trust and patience! (The glasgows from that particular batch should start shipping in about a week from now as it takes some time for them to arrive at Mouser and be processed) <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manufacturing</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/fpga" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fpga</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hardware</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hacking</span></a> <a href="https://social.1bitsquared.com/tags/GlasgowInterfaceExplorer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GlasgowInterfaceExplorer</span></a></p>

<p>Okay. So I think I have my plans for the hard drive complete. Now here&#39;s the shedpainty question:</p><p>The old drive has Ubuntu 24.04 on it. I hate it.</p><p>Should I trade down to Debian?</p><p>Or should I trade up to Pop!_OS?</p><p>Will I regret either of these? Will either one, if I just go get a standard usb key installation, cause driver problems with my AMD chipset or secure boot or whatever other junk Lenovo has on board?</p>

<p>a knife is the fastest way to reach my heart, in more ways than one</p>
