...and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I'm mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

To save yourself some headache on the wifi front, I recommend - at least for non-Laptops - getting a repeater and hooking your computer up via Ethernet cable. Yes, WiFi does work, but it can be a major PITA.

    I might do that in the end, but I've already ordered a different one that is supposed to be more Linux friendly. The other one was falling apart anyway - I had to sort of bend it back together.

    I had two different ones for a while and was suffering from occasional network dropouts that would force me to restart networking, and would sometimes take minutes to recover (DHCP discover) - eventually I had enough and bought a repeater + connected via cable. Interestingly enough, the "dropouts" would not allow new connections, but existing connections would remain active mostly. So it was definitely a driver issue.
