I usually do as well but I've found a few things I've wanted to use that weren't available or supported on 16.04. I've also had the issue of using a none LTS build and forgetting the lifespan is now very short.

My server is still running 14.04 LTS. I'll probably consider upgrading that to 18.04 after the first point update.

Yeah, I'd find 10s a bit long. I currently dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows 10 on my PC (Win7 being the default). I have it set to 3s, which I find to be a nice trade-off between giving me sufficient time to switch OS on those very rare occasions I boot into Windows 10, and not slowing down the boot process too much.

Would be good if computers had physical boot configuration switches, so you could just flick it to setting A or B when turning on, and remove the need to have any startup delay.

Whatever you set the delay to it will invariably be either far too long, or 1 second too short. Sometimes even at the same time.

Whilst we're in the mood for talking tech, I need some recommendations.

I need a new iron. What's good? What's not?

Got my other 18.04 issue (netatalk) solved by following compile/make/install instructions for 16.10 (apparently 16.04 is too old, go figure). Yay me.  :-O~~~

Just did a drive-by the usual discount suspects, and I can't touch that here. May still end up doing an own build from new parts.

What's good: wearing stuff that doesn't need ironing
What's bad: ironing.

I've got that film and only made it all the way through once. James Wood's performance is good though.

We're watching the "directors cut extended version", which has discarded scenes restored from assorted damaged/unfinished takes. A bit jarring but the story has continuity.

Pricing out a component build since the refurb thang ain't working for me. Here's what I'm looking at:

Nominal budget: $500. Already got: 1TB HDD, 750W PSU, Case [-ish]

$69 MSI 760GMA-P34FX mutherboard https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144119
- refurb!
- apparently can run XP!
$75 Athlon X4-950 (3.5G) CPU https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113456
- allegedly this model is only a year on the market
- 65w (!)
- believe it or not, out-benchmarks an FX-4300 (3.8G X4 w/ double the cache)
$156 16G (2x8) DDR3
$90 R7-250 2G GPU https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127763
- seriously clobbers similar-priced GT-730 models in benchmarks

What's bad: this stuff's already obsolete
What's good: this stuff's already obsolete
(I /always/ buy obsolete)

Potential future expansion(s): SSD, GPU, CPU (but memory's maxed out)

I reckon it would do me for ~5-10 years

SSD prices have been crashing over the last few weeks, you should absolutely get one as your main system drive. There is no other upgrade comparable to the speed increase you'll get with an SSD.

As you're someone who uses Linux, do you game on Linux?
Always used to hear nvidia is better on Linux (using the official driver and not nouveau)

Also why I used nvidia because I knew it would "just work", or as close as Linux gets to just working.
