Thanks for the posts and responses!
@sunrat, beautiful scrot. Plasma has blown GNOME out of the water, just on RAM usage alone, and then there's the customization factor and not having to deal with
https://extensions.gnome.org/ I flipping love KDE Connect!
@unklarer, damo has returned to our forums after a long health issue! BrontosaurusRex is still active daily there, too.
BL serves it's purpose, a debian stable LIVE disc with a fairly minimal Openbox/xfce4-power-manager based desktop that installs easily on most hardware due to the inclusion of non-free firmware and whatnot. We're getting better, and are excited that the freeze has come and we can do some real development-testing on our next release, Lithium, based on buster.
That scrot, my primary partition, is BunsenLabs Helium (jessie) upgraded to debian sid, then downgraded (sort of?) to buster. I run Plasma but have BunsenLabs Openbox and Xfce sessions as well. Those available sessions have saved my behind a couple of times during the recent sid KDE upgrades. Debian 4EVAH, One apt To Rule Them All.
