Wow, serious rite of passage: my younger son playing his first lp... On our turntable unused for a decade or two, with a just-replaced cartridge... These speakers are also getting their first airing despite me having had them for years (gifted by a mate as excess to requirements)...

Mr 14, standing side on in his school uniform with phone recording this epic experience: excited to be hearing his first LP for the first time. This is in our lounge with Tannoy speakers on the floor, cobbled together speaker cables, and stereo components (Yamaha power amp & radio receiver, Onkyo turntable, and Technics dual cassette deck. Incidentally, the latter was bought from Lan Pham's husband 7-8 yrs ago) in a home made ply rack sitting on the carpet in front of curtains blocking out the …
Closer view of the stereo rack for the audiophiles.

Yep, like this I'm getting nowhere. Another splendid rabbithole. I need to focus!
Did you know PostmarketOS has a desktop image as well? Not just for a phone, but a full-fledged DE? Neither did I. It's based on Alpine, and one image lets you choose between the likes of Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Cosmic. And that KDE is very sleek and up to date!
Gonna give that a longer go. Thanks @…
