A week with the System76 Galago Pro
Worked outside for a few hours 
Ditched Windows and the Dell in the office 
The matte screen helped with outdoor glare. The photo doesn’t do it justice 
browsing through my WordPress media library
My new System76 Galago Pro arrived last Friday and I promised to use it for at least a month before typing up a review. So for now here’s a few photos and a list of what I’ve been up to with this new computer.
- Used Libre Office Writer and Calc at the office
- Used Vim and gEdit for extensive coding
- Installed WordPress
- Added Rhythmbox for locally stored music playback
- Copy edited a magazine in Evince
- Tested WordPress 5.0 Release Candidate 3 and filed a bug report
- Spoke at a meetup and presented on WordPress’s new release
- Wrote this quick post 🙂
