I went to the Doctor's the other week needing help for my VB, and I couldn't get rid of this awful thing that's making my Micro soft.... He gave me a GPL3 cream for the VB and told me it'll go to Rust in a month and Viagra for the Micro soft and said I'll be stiff Linux user in 20 mins #Linux

The Speccy was the greatest! But I'm biased, just like I try not to be with Windows v Linux lol! The fun we had in Comet with the machines all in a row with the high pitch wine of the CRT's 😁

Mac and money? Users who go for those nowadays trade body parts... But I'm not a Mac fan, and Microsoft have caused a few problems with 11 if you don't have money to upgrade the system, it's either hack or go Linux... Win XP and 7 were my faves then it just went pop....

Have you looked at Winboat to ruin Windows apps on Linux? It uses a VM affair but makes the apps look like they're native to the Distro you're using? But yeah I agree with you on at long as... But 16 years ago Vista fight went to do it so I switched lol

That's a nice setup, but.... One tiny issues on the PC.... Ubuntu or Linux Mint would suit it better πŸ˜πŸ˜‰

@gamingonlinux.com Seems Zorin got Downloaded 300,000 times since October, but the stats aren't showing an increase in Linux, but an increase in Unknown OS's, is that Zorin or something else?

As Linux is a Kernel not an OS and Linux is just a Kernel? Just theory

My laptop is a HP ZBook 14 G2 and the Plex server is the Grandad of i7 3770 CPU's streaming happily for the family on Plex with a few Terabytes of shows and films.... I'm hoping to upgrade it to a 7th Gen i7 later especially now the market is getting flooded on eBay πŸ˜‰

I switched from Microsoft "Gingerhaired" Evil Stepchild Vista back in 09, went with Ubuntu, tried KDE a number of times, I just can't get on with it, went GNOME 2 at the time, then Unity and I then switched to MATE and now I'm back full circle to GNOME with tweaks! Great journey eh?

Microsoft’s strict rules mean older CPUs can't run Windows 11 Certain Intel and AMD chips aren't able to run Windows 11

Techradar should be ashamed at this article -

There's plenty of reason to keep the 7th Gen machines, top of that list is switching to #Linux and secondly I think they were paid handsomly by Microsoft to publish this! #bigfail #linux #FOSS #opensource
