   I initially tried f41-LXDE early on and it was NOT ready
   for prime time. The XFCE spin WAS good however.

   Pi-5 is just kinda WEIRD ... I wish they'd gone some
   other direction, even if it meant more of a wait, in
   order to increase compatibility with the older PIs.

   I just stopped using Ubuntu some years ago - it kept,
   pointlessly, deviating from Deb in too many ways ...
   plus Canonical was relentless promoting its 'cloud'
   junk (hard to install without it). Mostly these days
   I'm happy with MX (but DID have to use MX-AHS on
   that new n150 mini-box I bought).

   Anyway, Ralf solved my NHS problem today and I'm
   in a good mood.
