I was so stubborn haha. Blackberry had a phone where the touchscreen still clicked like a button when you pressed it and I thought that was the compromise everyone wanted. I was way off.

I also work in tech and love to buy gadgets and stuff. I’ve lived the majority of my adult life with a smart phone, pretty much my entire career. One thing I really wish I got to experience more of was working, dating, socializing, etc when you were very hard to get ahold of once you left the house. You’d have a phone at work, a phone at home, you’d check your messages and read the mail. Beyond that, you would be on your own when you were out in the world and not at the beck and call of anyone who who can contact you via one of hundreds of ways on a smartphone.
I remember being one of the many who thought touchscreens wouldn’t catch on because people loved physical keyboards too much. Of course, touchscreens weren’t quite what they are today. Haptic feedback and multi-touch were game changers.
Never heard of it before seeing this but it looks really cool. I might have to give it a spin.
I use Linux Mint. I started using Linux in 2007 and was an Ubuntu guy. When Ubuntu switched to Unity I wasn’t a big fan. At the time, Mint was providing an experience fairly close to what I was used to so I gave it a try. It does everything I need so I haven’t looked back. I don’t tinker as much as I used to and it’s very stable.
Also have a windows install I use for gaming and music production, but 95% of the time I’m on mint.
