    Thanks yeah, I do get that - when something is a lot faster, it feels pretty great, and you kinda wish you had that forever. At the same time, when you didn’t have it, you’re blissfully ignorant and don’t really miss it. So I’m going to keep myself in that state to avoid borking my system with a premature upgrade, haha.
