I’m almost afraid that my FW16 will get to me too soon! If I get an email Monday, and then charged a day or two later, and ships within a day or so, I’m afraid I might get it when I’m actually not home! I’m gone all next week until Friday night. The only time I’ve ever wanted something to be a few days delayed, lol. I’ll probably be fine, get my prep email mid/late next week, which means the following week I’ll get it.

Me too
So batch-batch-delta is time between batches correct? So latest trend is new batch every 4 days… eek
B16 could come way quicker than I expected… meaning I need to pick up the pace playing with distros and make a damn decision lol

As far as I know, they will keep it at a shop for 5 days, so you can get it there. If you need more time, you should open an account and tell them to deliver it at a specified date, it will stay at a hub for the time being, but longer than 5 days if necessary.

No way I’ll happily have it sooner so I can sit and stare at it lol
That was an answer to Aaron_Baff 
If you’re at home, while it arrives, congratulations to your new repairable notebook

oops trigger fingers 
Yeah, if I get shipping notification I’ll pay the money (seriously UPS/FedEx, ugh) to get them to hold a day or two, or specifically deliver when I’m at home.

Anyone who has theirs, what shipping company was used? A variety? Or do they seem to be using just one?

Thanks for the heads up! Mine is batch 15 and says that too. I hadn’t checked for a few days, and I’m really excited

I think you’re probably right that they ship out using FedEx, but local delivery can still vary. For example here in Australia a lot of the courier companies seem to have agreements with AusPost for last mile delivery.

Hey Comrade_Stiv
Elevated Systems posted a YouTube video reviewing 4 alternate distros:
DISTRO - Desktop
1 Linux Mint - Cinnamon
2 Pop!_OS - Gnome
3 Arch Based:
- Garuda - KDE dragonize
- Arco - xfce
So there might be some community interest in your findings regarding linux distro comparisons and decision.
Do we have a “Adventures with Alternate Distros” blog ? 
I’d also be interested if there was a
“Multiple Boot Fun” blog 
and a
blog for “Grub Rescue Escapades”
