First new computer in years

Until 2 days ago, the newest machine I had was a Lenovo T440s, 4th gen Intel I7. Was in Walmart and saw one I liked and bought it. It's a Lenovo Ideapad 3, Ryzen 7, 8GB RAM, 512 GB drive.

When my eldest daughter was in the early stages of founding her company (Policygenius.com), her first business purchace was a Lenovo X230 that was to be her road warrior.

Re: MX-19 Beta 1 Feedback

I had already installed Palemoon, maybe it's not "seen"? Also, I installed additional theme engines and they did not show up in the window manager...

Re: MX-19 Beta 1 Feedback
