I was using the 1980s "Unix for Luddites" to play around with nroff and troff, which come from the groff-base package in Debian. But to get "full" functionality, you need to add the groff package, which brings the -me and ms macros onto the system. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/groff

Now that I opened my long-sealed boxes from the now-closed @ladailynews office (we are working remote), I have my copy of Unix for Luddites and will be writing about my first experiences with Unix and how it led me to where I am today.

I looked into my Unix past and used nroff to format a short letter. I even defined the .PP macro with info from the 1980s troff manual.

Look at this Community Update from @rocky_linux. They are doing it right. This will be a much stronger project than @CentOSProject in terms of governance, community involvement and transparency. All good! https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/community-update-february-2021/1934

While I'm very much interested in @rocky_linux and @CentosProject Stream, it's hard to see me leaving @Debian. I also could see myself running @Ubuntu, which I haven't done in a long time. https://thenewstack.io/centos-creator-gregory-kurtzer-discusses-his-new-distro-rocky-linux/

I'm on the lookout for PulseAudio 14.2 to make its way into @Debian Bullseye/Testing. It entered Unstable on 1/19/2021. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pulseaudio

A new Chromium browser just made its way into @Debian Buster/Stable and Bullseye/Testing. It's a good sign for the package being maintained going forward. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium
