Well I might be going down that route if this new one doesn't work. My PC isn't in a good spot to connect directly, but a repeater is an alternative I hadn't considered.

Raising them right.

The Sunshine music is burned into my brain from my eldest playing it daily for the past couple of months.

And watching Star Trek

Awesome! Good luck on your journey as well.

I am looking forward to getting more comfortable in terminal. At the very least, I know how to navigate around the file system, use SSH, and some other basic stuff. I find it hard to retain this info unless I'm learning it for a specific need/purpose, so I'll probably slowly pick it up in a random order as I have problems to solve.

Those are the people on the Hannah Montana distro.

I might do that in the end, but I've already ordered a different one that is supposed to be more Linux friendly. The other one was falling apart anyway - I had to sort of bend it back together.

I subscribed to a bunch of Linux communities today with that in mind, but I haven't drilled down to figure out which are the most active or are open to random questions.

Thanks! I think I'm willing to make that tradeoff. I also wouldn't consider myself techy (as in, not a tech professional or anything), but I am pretty confident in my ability to google and figure stuff out.

I've even run into my first issue now: It turns out that Realtek wifi USB devices don't play well with Linux.

Colorado and Wyoming have really dominated the pool scene nationwide.

 

...and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I'm mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!
