Not had problems like that, losing files. Thankfully. I do weekly backups, so not end of world event but ya, would be damned annoying.
Like i mentioned i also have heard that KDE is better than it was, but for me, no reason to go back. Unless im using KDE apps too, its still a waste of resources. And i have found noobies do ok with LXDE "and down here is the menu, with all your stuff... sort of like windows 95 was".
And as much as i hate Microsoft, a start menu of some sort wasn't a bad thing to have.
For my new machine I was considering one of the smaller ones, but LXDE is being changed to LXQT, and XFCE isn't considered "slim" anymore.
Been hearing that for years now. Sort of like "mainframes are going away"
But, it still installs .. so i dont care ( yet )

"stop the world! the eclipse is coming!"
Yawn. So it gets dark for a few mins during the day. Unless you are a scientist monitoring the corona, bleh. You want to see dark, go outside at night.
Around here, they expect it to be so full of tourists they are shutting down schools and many people are being sent home for the day. And all cops are going to be on duty, etc. We just had our monthly manager tech meeting canceled that was on the 8th. Not that i was going to go, screw the traffic. "stock up with food for a couple of days, and gas, due to the influx lines will be horrendous and you dont want to be out at a store"
The more see/hear/bla of this crapshow of servicenow, the more i hate it. It needs to die in a fire. Literally.
