All good, in general, and I’ll be able to get another couple of years out of it

I found that:

  • I had to run the installer twice before it worked

  • gpodder picked up all my subscriptions from gpodder.net, which was handy, because I’d forgotten to export the opml

  • I had to log out and back in again to get gpodder to save to the folder I specified

  • Spotify seems identical. I use custom order, which I wasn’t expecting to be there in the Linux version….I’m wondering whether it’s actually the windows version running under wine

  • it’s a shame PSClock won’t run

  • I installed the Mate desktop…I very much prefer that to the default Ubuntu one

  • I haven’t got gvim set up yet

  • or VS Code

  • or any powershell stuff beyond installing it

……but it’s all good
