[20:32] Finally I have a fresh install of a more up-to-date version of Ubuntu on my laptop. My previous setup was pretty messed up witch a partially encrypted dual boot system and quite a few files and settings that I did not want to screw around with, yet did not have the time to clean up properly, so I just harvested an SSD from another machine that I was not using anymore and switched it with the old one. Keeping all my data, yet making room for a new setup.
I actually spent about an hour trying to get Xfce to suit my needs, but I've grown accustomed to GNOME Shell way too much, so I ended up with this DE again.
