I’ve been “test driving” different flavors of Linux on another computer here at my home desk for the last 10 years or so.

It wouldn’t take much more than a gentle nudge for me to wipe this hard drive clean and install Linux Mint on it.

My attitude toward Microsoft has been steadily going downhill ever since they decided that we no longer own our operating systems. “Windows is a service” BS.

Constant screw-ups in their patches is getting rather tiresome.

One of my PCs has Cinammon Mint 17.3.

Wonderful OS. And Linux is way faster than windoze.

The Linux box with a single 64bit cpu is faster than a windoze box with a dual 64bit cpu.
