Been meaning to fully switch to Debian for a while, but I've been making due modifying my apt sources to have the apt version of Firefox from the ppa and pin it above the snap version, but I guess at some point I'll have to bite the bullet and do a reinstall.

Kinda crazy this had been 10 year old Ubuntu installs that I've kept going year after year from OS upgrades to hardware upgrades. My server Ubuntu install has transitioned from a Q6600 Intel core 2 duo, to a i7-4770, and would have survived another hardware upgrade I'm going to plan but that'll probable be when i do my reinstall.

My personal laptop install has gone through 3 different laptops that I've just moved over from 1 drive to the next with gparted, from a dell vostro 3550, to a Dell latitude e7450, to a dell latitude 7490, again looking at an upgrade for the laptop too, I'll probably reinstall with Debian.

If anyone has any new-ish AMD based laptop recommendations that are upgradeable (non-soldered ram, etc) and that don't break the bank, I'd appreciate it! Apparently dell doesn't sell any AMD laptops other than 1 outdated model from before 2020 I think.

Sigh. I really was hoping they would've learned by now.

Glad I switched to Debian a few years back. Got that hassle out of the way and I see no reason to use Ubuntu.
