    I have no idea. It’s a shower thought, not sure if it’s reflecting reality.

    If I were a labour shadow cabinet member 2 years ago I’d be thinking I don’t have a chance of actually performing the primary role. But oh boy, times change quickly.

    Another post has a good point. It’s likely there will be a shake up of the labour cabinet early on so if they think anyone isn’t prepared, they will be swapped out.

    I’ve used Linux for decades but not for desktop usage. I work with Linux every day.

    I recently purchased a high end workstation to act as a hypervisor for multiple desktop systems. The plan was to boot into a Linux system and then from there load up one of many desktop OS and work seamlessly within a VM. This has worked well on a Windows host with VMWare Workstation and allows me as a contractor to have separation of configuration between customers.

    However I found Linux desktop to have too many glitches. From failed package installs, multiple monitor problems and some special keys being sent to both VM and host. I also found the user interface of some apps to be bad, which I can look past but with the other fundamental issues it added a bad taste to the experience. I really want it to work and I do go back every now and then to try again.
