One of the times I bought parsnips a few years ago, the check out clerk at the store was confused as to what they were. Told him they are parsnips, and he called them evil carrots.

Oops, lol, guess the link didn’t copy and I didn’t pay attention. Thank you :)

It’s very censored in media outlets, but many report “b*****d” and you can see her face by the “d” at the end of the word. Likely says bastard.

There is a section here on dual booting using systemd boot. Never used it, but it will hopefully work in your case, or at least point you the right way.https://ostechnix.com/dual-boot-windows-and-pop-os/

Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful

I have never used those tools, I usually just dd the iso to a usb. I am assuming you are on a linux distribution already. I would download a fresh iso and verify the checksum. Then use dd to write to the usb. I use this format, and of course replace the path to iso bit and /dev/sdx (your usb)with what is relevant to your situation. Just open terminal and type

sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/your.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

You probably already know but you can find the usb’s specific /dev/sdx with sudo fdisk -l

I still use one. I like having a small device for just that purpose. It doesn’t have a touch screen, which is how I prefer it. I despise touchscreens. I like to interact with my phone as little as possible, especially while driving.

You want bleeding edge but are moving to Ubuntu 20.04, which was released in 2019 with a 2025 EOL? No DE from that release’s repo will be bleeding edge. You can manually install the newest releases of software you want, but that’s not really a “just works” solution either. You’ll run into dependency hell at some point. I’m not really sure what you’re going for. But as far as a stable DE goes, and if that is the main concern as implied in the title, XFCE has been pretty darn solid for me.

Have you tried turning off the repeat keys function? https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-repeat-keys.html.en

I don’t know if you have any where you live, but sometimes you can find local appliance repair shops that might sell parts. Even if they don’t have a new element hanging around they may have an old usable one to sell you. I used to work at one and we kept ahold of discontinued parts to use for repairs or sale.

Ugh, don’t get me started.

You will also want to make sure the filter isn’t clogged up. Most overheating is going to be an airflow issue. You can also look up online how to pull it apart and check components. You may also have a loose power connection somewhere. Make sure the vacuum is unplugged before you mess with it.
