I can't really look now, its all updated :)
But although the OS was old, the browser,firefox-dev, was pretty current.
The process of upgrading to 35/XFCE was pretty smooth, except I had misused my /var
partition. There were some interesting gotchas. Using the "Custom" partition
manager in the installer, I couldn't define a root, '/', partition. I would
revert to whatever was there earlier. I had to use "Custom Advanced". And the
progress meters were a little wonky, which made me wonder if I was hung a couple of
times.
I went through all this because I was trying to build Matter, home automation, and it
didn't like my python version. It still doesn't like my python version LOL.
I installed GIMP and it installed python2, so I might have to see was is going on there.
Also, just as previously, ImageMagick display images are all very translucent. It makes
me think there is a setting that is off in my home directory, but I haven't been able
to find anything.
