“home grown” Ubuntu spin, got it

Very neat! Definitely a project I’d like to follow.

Makes me wonder if something similar could be implemented using frr, ospf, and ansible.

Always backup.

Everytime I do anything with filesystems or partitions, something goes wrong and I end up having to utilize the backup.

That’s not to say btrfs-convert won’t work; I have no idea as I’ve never used it. Maybe it will work perfectly, but at least you’ll have a backup for a fresh fs if it doesn’t.

It looks like an upsidedown Xbox controller with a screen in the middle.

Yeah

I use Manjaro only because it makes others upset.

Also, I installed it a few years back and it just keeps working fine for me.

Sounds like a cool replacement for point to point WiFi bridges. I wonder what sort of distances start to impact data rates and quality just due to air density or weather.
