Here comes 2019.... duck!

As 2019 arrives, I thought it might be fun to guess what it might bring.

Well, I know I am finishing 2018 as a convert from Debian Stretch to it's offspring, MX Linux. I reckon in 2019, MX Linux will be my "go to" system.

The 2019 will end with MX 18 as the most used distribution and with the most stylized MX 19.

I personally will try my hand at building a children's educational/ learning platform (using MX18+). My target is grades K to 5 (in the US).

Excellent! I am always surprised at the lack of civic and historical knowledge that many of our youth have, Not only elementary and high school students but college graduates as well. Don't they read?

2019.. it will change my whole life around. My two years sick leave will end and I will get the boot, and then some disability stuff will have to kick in. I will still get loads of tests, maybe knee braces added to my collection, and I hope not, but if there are a few more stupid doctors out there that know diddly about EDS and manipulate my joints too far there might even be a wheelchair in my future. *rolls eyes* Not if I can help it though! Too bad you can't smack ignoramuses.

On the plus side MX will continue, I will continue to be here and will still annoy everyone online like I have always done. I will hopefully publish my first book, I hope to have my granny for another year (she'll be 94 come January) and maybe I will have been able to build myself a whole new computer. :smile:

Definitely will!

I'm sure I'll be around with questions when the time comes.. mostly like: is this supported ootb in Linux? And.. which of these two should I get on this hardware?

:laugh: It's going to be interesting. My mate used to help me with this.

@richb
Why should people bother learning to read, write coherent sentences, or communicate directly when they can txt... IMHO & FWIW :p

@Eadwine Rose
I wish you well, healthwise especially. My dad turns 90 in March. It is great having members of their generation to keep us honest. ;)
