  • We have a six-month old and decided that we don’t want to go too deep into a 529. Neither of us went to college and we’re successful, so we don’t want to assume she’ll want to.

    We figure 10-20k is a reasonable amount for her to have in there. We assume she’ll be able to use that much even without college. We’re dropping a few thousand dollars in there now, and I’m going to add a little bit over time. We’re doing a regular taxable account for her also that I’ll be putting more money into.




  • I feel mixed. The shift towards COSMIC DE got me off of POP_OS. I wanted the newer Gnome features, and that stopped being their focus. I don’t wanna wait 2-3 years for a great DE when I already know I like Gnome. I switched to Fedora and use Pop Shell, and am really happy with my OS now. I also felt like the public shade between Gnome devs and S76 devs was tacky. With that said, I bet Cosmic is going to be great eventually. It’ll be great to have DE in the ecosystem with a focus on performance, UI, customizability, and actually looking good. Even if I don’t use it, I bet it’ll push the other big DEs to get better. Friendly competition is good. Also, it’s ridiculous that you have to go with a WM to get tiling, and that it’s not easier to get in Gnome. Real glad Pop Shell is still available, but I don’t think anyone’s maintaining it so it can’t last.
