After being a dedicated #Windows user for decades I’m ready to move on to #Linux thanks to AI crap in Windows 11. About to buy a ThinkPad with preinstalled #Ubuntu. Is this a good first version for a new user? Any constructive comments? Please be nice about using Windows for so long!

for the new year you might want to reply to your own posts to keep the feed more compact…

these two functions are special cases of Jacobi elliptic functions:
\[ \operatorname{sl}( z ) = \operatorname{sn}( z | -1 ) \hspace{3em}
\operatorname{cl}( z ) = \operatorname{dn}( z | 2 ) \]
