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.

Could it be a TLS error in your browser being so ancient? 1,0 and 1.1 have both been deprecated. I quit fighting it and went with gnome.

I was trying to do an install/build on my Fedora 23 development system, which, admittedly, is old. My python version was too old. I decided to get the latest Fedora and upgrade things. When I tried to initiate the download I received an invalid certificate error. Really. Considering what I'm downloading, I decided not to override.

Anyone else seen this? I consider this a sign of rapidly approaching death, most of the time. Also, I couldn't find the usual "spins" option for the download. I like to use XFCE.

For now, I'm going to python.org and taking my chances there.
