I started writing that, got a little carried away, then decided even if no one cares, talking into the void has always been cathartic
Hi, the void here.
I care, and it sounds like you did have a real proper Linux experience. Good for you. =)
I get that, sometimes it can feel like "why am I even bothering to write a big long comment" but there's no need to apologise for it. Not everything we say or write has to be profound, sometimes people just want to share a story!
And I feel your pain as well, I had a similar issue updating mine after leaving it sit for about a year, but I very, very stupidly decided to do it on a Friday morning, on my work machine, on the same some code was due to be delivered. So I had a frantic Friday trying to fix my PC and get the work done!
