I'm new to the forum, and in my experience most forums appreciate an introduction from new members. Also, it appears I must post twice before I can finish populating the life story on my profile, so this should count as number one. If there's a better location for off-topic threads, someone please let me know.

My user name reflects the fact that I'm a retired software developer from the US Pacific Northwest, where it's famous for raining all the time.

I've just installed Neon on my daily-driver laptop, and I plan to do the same for the other seven computers here -- they've been using Plasma for years. For several years I've been using the Solus OS Plasma edition, but Solus seems to be having some serious problems these days. I figured that since I've been a KDE Plasma user for many years (on various distributions), I might as well just replace Solus with Neon.
