My Yamaha f310 guitar. It’s supposed to be a beginner model, but I never felt the need for anything else. Took it with me traveling and after some 15000km on the road still sounds as on its first day.

Was it the mi9? This model soured my opinion of Xiaomi a bit

Nothing. Romania is generally fine. I hitchhiked an couch surfed solo. Had only good experiences.

It is not as complicated as it looks! As a long time windows user I’m in the process of getting used to the command line and I love the simplicity and direct way of doing things. For some tasks and small programs it is amazing. Grep for example is something amazing that you couldn’t do in a windows type UI.

For other stuff like visualizing a directory tree you can always use a mouse interface. You’re rarely forced to use the terminal.
