+  * 2014-Aug 2020 [[https://archlinux.org|Arch Linux]] stable AF, as I write this I think should I have moved?
-  * Aug 2020 [[https://debian.org|Debian]]
+  * Aug 2020 [[https://debian.org|Debian]] stable then upgraded to next-stable, was a good experiece
-  * Nov 2020 [[https://neon.kde.org|KDE Neon]]
+  * Distrohop Warning:
-  * Nov 2020 [[https://pop.system76.com|Pop!_OS]] - with Plasma!
+  * Nov 2020 [[KDE Neon]] Great but had random [[power-outs|power-outs]] (nothing in logs)
+  * Nov 2020 [[Pop!_OS]] - with Plasma! very impressive but again frequent [[power-outs|power-outs]]
+  * Late Nov 2020 [[Alpine]] Plasma good, non-gnu muscl based but Thunderbird non installable - dealbreaker, no [[power-outs|power-outs]]
+  * Early Dec 2020 [[Nix-OS]] freekin weird as a distro but also very very good so far no [[power-outs|power-outs]] yet, Plasma, learning curve.
+  * February 2021 got a new Laptop its a [[E14 Gen2 AMD Thinkpad]] from now on this page will be split into 2 sections one for my x220 and the other for the e14
+==== x220 ====
+  * February 2021 [[Nix-OS]] Weird distro still no [[power-outs|power-outs]] yet, using KDE-Plasma, still experiencing a learning curve.
+  * Mid May 2021 [[FreeBSD]] Excellent OS, up to date minimalish KDE, ipfw enabled, kdeconnect and syncthing configured
+  * Late May 2022 [[Debian]] After a year of running both Debian and FreeBSD on different machines, I decided to switch to Debian on the x220.
+  * April 2023 [[Debian]] Still running Debian
+==== e14 ====
+  * February 2021 I tried a few distros, hardware seems too new for mass support. I chose [[Kubuntu]] 20.10 as it //seems// to offer an easy route to a usable [[kde-plasma|KDE Desktop]]
+  * Late November 2021 The [[Debian]] stable kernel finally caught up with my hardware - now rocking a Minimal(ish) KDE-Plasma on Debian 11
+  * April 2023 [[Debian]] Still running Debian; I'm considering getting rid of the windows install on this machine
