So recently I got the idea that I really wanted to update to Ubuntu 22.04. But of course Bodhi 7 isn't out yet. So what to do? Well I thought I was so smart to wipe my drive (after backing up obviously) and install 22.04 then install Enlightenment 0.25. Well my Xubuntu iso I was trying to use borked on the installer so I was left with an unusable system. I realized I was gonna have to do something to get something, anything working to boot the machine. So I opened my desk drawer and grabbed a flash drive at random. I always have lots of flash drives with various distros on them and I grabbed the one on top and booted it not caring what it was because whatever if it's OpenSUSE then I'll boot and install that, then download an iso of whatever. But when I booted the stick it was Bodhi. I went ahead and reinstalled Bodhi and was back restored within a few minutes. But I wasn't through tinkering. I've had that borked installation problem before and I can usually get it to work. So I tried again with a vanilla Ubuntu 22.04.1 iso. Everything installed fine. I installed Enlightenment and I thought I was peachy. Until I started using it. I quickly realized how many "niceties" are missing from plain Enlightenment (props to thewaiter and ylee for all the nice gubbins they work on). I got quite a few errors about certain modules not being supported (one of which was related to key bindings apparently so no custom shortcuts for me
) So I bet you can guess what I did then. Yep I wiped my drive once again and reinstalled Bodhi and now I'm back to where I was a couple days ago. I should have just stayed there. *cue sad trombone music*

PS I left out one of the wipe and reinstalls. I honestly forget why I needed to do it again but at some point I reinstalled Bodhi for a third time then went back to my drawer of flash drives, grabbed a different one and I swear to you it ALSO had Bodhi on it
