Congratulations on the new job. It was on my radar to look into a new Development laptop. The current one was a "what is the cheapest laptop you have?" purchase on the way through the airport to FOSDEM in Brussels! US-based Debian Developers have been offered discounts from Lenovo, but so far this doesn't apply for European DDs. Kfocus looks interesting. Do you know if there are plans to ensure a smooth upgrade to the next LTS? I would hate to be trapped on 20.04 relying on backports forever. So far all of my Ubuntu Studio machines are desktop units as I have never had the need to do music on the run (all of my instruments are too big to carry, and I rarely get a project to the mixing stage that can't wait a few weeks anyway). :-) But I would probably use the US installer anyway to overlay Ubuntu Studio so that the possibility was there. > That said, since it has become my day job, it is now my focus (no pun > intended).
