I've noticed this too for some time.
His last post was on March 15th of this year.
He's someone who is appreciated for the quality of his discussions on this forum.
I hope he hasn't suffered any serious health problems.
Let's hope that's not the case and keep our fingers crossed... 😐

@Axios @brent @penny-farthing @AlphaElwedritsch Ditto here from me too. I did notice that he made increasing mentions of hospital visits before his silence so can only hope he is on the mend now.

BuzzPCSOS increasing mentions of hospital visits before his silence so can only hope he is on the mend now.

also he said his spouse had some things going on. life throws some monkey wrenches. @WetGeek if you check back in, know you are missed.

brent that's your opinion. The truth is, everyone will slowly move to atomic/immutable OS's in the (near) future. And there's no way back, weather you like it or not. The trend is very clear. Open your eyes and look at all the development going on with Bazzite, Fedora silverblue, Bluefin, VanillaOS, ShaniOS, NixOS, EndlessOS, Arkane, Aeon, Aurora, and the list goes on and on. Better get used to it.

@kwag if you want to keep on with that conversation, please start a different thread. We have taken this one way off its original idea. This is not the place.

@kwag Please create a separate thread if you still insist on talking about immutable OS. Please use softer tone when talking about it.

Consider this a warning from a moderator. Thank you.

kwag

alfisya point taken, and so were my points. No need for a new thread. Thanks!

To get this back on track and in honor of our friend @WetGeek that we hope is somewhere safe and sound, I thought I would go into a distro, that is more of a cousin, being GhostBSD. I used BSD before Linux, when I was a teen. I play with it off and on. GhostBSD is interesting because it is so easy to install for even a novice user. The live graphical installer is about as simple as they get with the common language, region, disk, user account, etc. walkthrough in actually a very pleasant-looking installer. While the default desktop is XFCE you can install others like KDE, MATE, etc. along with their upcoming Gershwin which is MacOS like (not my thing), Many apps that we are used to are available there, and it is very stable. While I prefer Linux, BSD is interesting and more than what people think it is.

Did a quick install; everything is just default...
