Think I've settled on this one. So far so good thanks!

Yeah after a while I found I had this issue. Now switched to AnySoftKeyboard and it seems to have what I need.

Maybe for you but I prefer it 😛

That's great thanks. Just tried it and appears to work well.
I've been having a look for one but can't find any. Am I missing something obvious?

Slides of Time. After switching from Pebble it was nice to come back to a familiar watch face. I've tried others but always end up coming back to this.

Also used as the cover photo for Blur's Country House. Although as a mirror image.

Thanks, much appreciated!
Just realised I put this in the old Infinity group. For awkward users like me who self host. If you have a longer domain name it puts it over 2 lines and cuts off. Could this be adjusted?

I use it for both. It's rock solid and once setup and customised to my liking it's low maintenance. Basically I wanted a stable Ubuntu. I wouldn't say it's a server orientated distro, it's good at both.

Look after your back when you're young (unfortunately I didn't take this advice).

As others have said if you're happy with Windows then why change? If you're wanting to then instead of looking at the OS, look at what applications you use and see if there's a Linux version or an alternative you could use.
Personally, I actually support Windows on a day to day basis but use Linux at home. If there's one hate I have for Windows it's their awful update process, making my computer basically crawl until it finally decides it's going to reboot randomly as I've put the update off too long.
Added with the artificial software restrictions put in place for Windows 11, Linux seemed a no brainier.
I've been using Debian for a while. It's not as resource hungry and rock solid. It's survived several OS upgrades and keeps happily ticking along. Where for work I have a Microsoft Surface that the camera driver crashes unless I roll back to a previous version. Every so often Windows will decide that actually I'll want that new driver regardless of what I say. How can a MS OS fail to work with MS hardware?
In terms of recommending an OS, I'd say Linux Mint. It's a great starter OS and as it's popular it's well supported.

Seeing this reminded me of a meme from years ago

I've used it for writing job descriptions. The final output is different after I've tweaked it but it's much easier than starting with a blank page.
