Every time I use the new KDE Plasma, I get so frustrated that I want to break something. The same goes for whenever I have to use other people's computers, especially if they run Windoze or the rotten Apple; and it's even worse when I have to use a public computer.
The only thing that worries me is that I am becoming my own island, which is maybe not so good. I am thinking maybe of running a virtual box inside my Linux machine, in which I can run Windoze or the rotten Apple or some other Linux OS, just to keep up a little with changes that are going on "out there".
I could have written this, or most of it. I don't know if it helps knowing you're not alone...

The Trinity users list is becoming my entire social life. I also wonder if maybe this is not healthy. On the other hand, fewer and fewer people "out there" seem to be really sane; and when I must use their computers, this worries me even more.
When I was mostly offline for a few days, trying to migrate from Debian to Devuan, I got 44 emails, of which 43 were from the TDE mailing list.
Tomorrow, at any rate, I shall try to make it downstairs, past the front desk, beyond the ice machine, and to go outdoors, maybe even as far as the library and the farmers market. Also, I need coffee.
Probably the caffein withdrawal is what makes real trouble :-) (just conted: 4 kg coffee left *phiew*)
Must be more than one container then. On this side of the pond, a 3 lb can is a big one, I get nervous when I am down to the last can. For use, that can gets dumped into a smaller plastic can with a handle that works much better for filling the Mr. Coffee for another 12 cups of Gods Blessing.
I've been known to have 4 of the big cans on top of the fridge, buying it when its on sale at under 7 dollars a can. Wouldn't want to run out between sales now would we?

I, too, shop for the sales, but nowadays I am a coffee snob (thanks to a former girlfriend, since about 30 years ago now). I spend at least $30-40 every month on the stuff. But I only like it strong and black, so at least I save money by not needing to adulterate the elixir of enlightenment with cream and sugar, etc.
It's rather an expensive habit, and probably qualifies as an addiction, but then as I get older, I have fewer and fewer dependable pleasures, so by that measure it's cheap. It also goes well with reading, and a good book is a friend for life.

Spoken like a true junkie... I mean connoisseur. Aye, that's it... connoisseur.
