Oddly enough it feels more silent than Fera 3 but that may be only due to Noctua fans which have lower humming noise instead of high pitch. They can still run at 2000 RPM and full blast which is not needed. Thanks to much better performance of the cooler I can reduce RPM and with it also the noise.
Still the noisiest piece of my computer is the 7200 RPM HDD. 
If only there were cheap, reliable SSDs in several TB range.
So, setting new records in short term ownership, I’ve already gotten rid of the HP Elitebook 845G9. If ever there were a laptop that deserves it’s picture in the dictionary under the word “garbage”, that was it. The BIOS was just a complete pile of suck. Nothing functioned correctly, and it didn’t matter what settings you changed, it didn’t change how anything functioned. Total trash.
So ordered a Lenovo T14 G3. Core i5-1245U, 16GB, 256GB, 300-nit 1920x1200. Upgraded to 32GB ram, and have a 2TB Silicon Power UD90 on it’s way (newegg had it on sale for $115 for the 2TB!!!). As a short term solution, replaced the PC711 SSD that came in this with a WD SN810 since as least the SN810 is PCIe 4 drive. Since the drive isn’t going to be staying, I’m testing out some less used distro’s on it, in the picture is the OpenMandriva LX ROME, the new rolling release version. Not impressed thus far.
These aren’t my pics but this showed up yesterday and I was able to open it today.
I had to import it from Japan.
That is commendable. I will continue to use my S10+ as long as I can.
I’m glad someone else thinks OpenMandriva ROME is not quite there. Which is a shame, as I always have a soft spot for Mandrake-derived distributions. Mandrake was the first Linux distribution I ever used.
However, good came out of it. Mandriva put ISOs and images on archive.org, which I have never seen before, and that led me straight down a rabbit hole:
archive.org CD-ROM Software Library
This has 45,000+ ISOs of the most astounding variety and obscurity. If you want old versions of Windows, Linux, Solaris and even MacOS they are there …
Edit: ROME got a bad review on DistroWatch.
That’s a nice looking strat style guitar. What brand is it?
Thanks!
Momose. They are a small builder in Japan producing handmade instruments. Part of the Deviser Group.
IMO, they make really high quality instruments. This is the 3rd Momose I have played and all have been excellent. Most(All?) their guitars use a Laquer finish and are made with quality components. Most of their hardware is made by Gotoh in Japan. The pickups are either their in-house pickups or from mojotone depending on the guitar.
This guitar is part of a special series they did highlighting wood from Japan and the color blue. The body is made of Tochi and the top is Flame Tochi.
The prices used to be comparable to US builders of a similar size but the price increases by American builders combined with the strong exchange rate between USD and JPY right now makes them(and most other Japanese-made guitars) a relative value.

I had a 60th birthday couple of weeks ago. My employer gave me 150 euros as a present. I spent it for a new bowling ball…
I’m envious. Wish I could still bowl, but my knees say no.
I suck at bowling but it is still super fun.
I suck at bowling too, but as you said, it’s damn fun. Me and my missus started bowling few months ago and now we go bowling every weekend…
Add roller skating and going to a cinema, and you would have the three most popular things to do on a date in the 60’s.
Pudge
Well, that’s what we old people do…
You need the EndeavourOS logo on it! 
Now that you mentioned it, the colour of the ball has indeed some resemblance to EndeavourOS… 
Particularly the rollerskating! We old folks can do it better than anyone else.
