So I have been using Linux for about a month now as my main working system, every day. So far, so good.
So, have I gone into Windows, and have I missed using Windows?

So a few people have been asking what systems and software I run especially since I mainly switched to Linux. From paid commercial software to freeware and open-source options, I’ve got a mix for both Windows 10 and Linux.

Yes, the title is real. No, it is not clickbait. I am in the process of moving to Linux. I am testing a couple of distributions in a virtual machine and, as I type this, this article is being written from Firefox running in Linux through Windows 11.

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.
I like Lego I can not lie... and while I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.
I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego". Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind this iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.
The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered (Xmas Advent Calendars etc) or non Lego sets.
Current sets to be made are;
| Set | Description | Theme | Pieces |
| 76344 | Iron Man Mk 3 | Marvel | 1297 |
