Oh I can tinker, and I know bash well enough.  I started with a 
proprietary *nix in 1980 or so, moved to SCO unix, then to Red Hat and 
finally about 10ish years ago to mint.

I think you and others might be right that I'll never move.   I've spent 
3+ years playing with mint, and the last 9 mos using it totally 100% 
after getting kinda fed up with Win 10.   I know mint cinnamon so well, 
and where so much configuration is, and how to adjust so much,  I may 
never move.  I tried xfce per one conversation and I'm having a lot of 
issues making it look good.   Of course it took me months to make mint 
look good, so why would I think I can do xfce in a day. :-)
