I started with Kubuntu (leaving XP) in 2007. I never could really get into the naming of the releases.
Am I a party-pooper?
Actually, I never memorized even one name through the years. I couldn't tell you what any of them are to save my life.
Thanks for Google, as needed.
I just go by the number, like 22.04, etc.
Just to be clear ... I don't see anything wrong with catchy-silly naming of releases!
Not criticizing the gods or anything.

... I never could really get into the naming of the releases...

I started with Kubuntu at about the same time, and I liked the release names and used them often, usually just the adjective, f.ex. "hardy", "precise". But around about 12.04 they went right out of fashion, I suspect seen as being confusing and off-putting for newbies.

@ jlittle, Yeah, the names can be confusing! ha-ha I'm sure there is an inside story to the name picks for each release, though.

"Raccoon" is a bit too common an animal for the naming, so they must be getting low on the choices somehow. But then I looked at the list, and I take that back


I'd rather have Tenacious Trash Panda or Bouncy Bin Chicken or Daring Danger Noodle. We *have* had a Jackalope and a Werewolf.......

I think I was on 5.10 when I first moved to Kubuntu from Ubuntu. Anyway, I remember always posting CD label images here trying to use the Named animal in it. Was never easy to do that. CDs no longer a thing now. Haven't looked at making one in a VERY long time. Love the USB drives for that. Feel old now.

I still have a DVD-BluRay drive on my desk but I threw away all my CDrom blanks this year. Old indeed...

I seem to recall you embarking on a media shift of all your CDs, how did that go? I, too, have a drive on my desk, with the vague intention of putting it in my desktop for digitizing a few hundred CDs.

[MoonRise]

Yeah, I've attempted the same for digitizing. Did a good many but that collection is so large, I'll never get it all, sadly,

It went as well as could be expected I suppose. All the movie DVDs were easy enough. Several - maybe half - of the Photos on CD-ROMs that we got from film development over that years were no longer readable. I spent some hours over several days trying to get some data off of them to no avail. However, all of these were also hard copy photo prints so any I wanted to archive I could scan. Takes longer, but still doable. Years ago I had 3000 family slides dating to before my birth. I spent the better part of a year scanning them at hi resolution one at a time. Thankfully, I had completed that task before our home was flooded and the slides ruined.

I'm honestly looking at my DVD drive now wondering if I should just unplug and store it. A couple years ago I moved it from my PC case to a USB external enclosure so I could have it on my desk instead of having to reach for the PS case - which is under my desk and several feet away from my chair. It will probably be mothballed soon...

Very cheering to hear that.
