I would like to get a Cessna Citation jet for X-Plane. I flew in one when my company was relocating from South Florida to Cheyenne Wyoming. I went to setup our Adabas database. This was many years ago. I wasn’t especially interested in aviation then and have no idea what model it was. This was …

On my SSD, I’m basically only using the first partition for Linux Mint, which I’m very content with. The other 2 partition were for when I installed other Linux distros …
