Hi, I’m over 65 and I’ve just dumped Win and MacOS for Linux Mint Cinnamon. Not ever going back. So, yes you should bother definitely. As other posts says, decide on a distro, find the relevant forum, join and ask questions. I tried Mint Cinnamon, XFCE, and also Gnome. The Mints are most like Windows, Gnome is a bit different. My point is once you’ve got your head round doing the SHA256 checksum malarkey and installed it, check it out, install what you need. If it runs it great. Or try a few, it’s a great thing to learn. Personally, I find it’s fantastic to get away from the tricks and all round ensh*ttification of the Win/Mac worlds. As Nike say ‘Just Do It’. 😁

Shame. /s.

Brave New World…

Fair enough. Don’t be invoking Article 5 (again) the next time there’s an attack on your soil.

2 years to go till the 100th anniversary of the Great Crash. Just saying.

Definitely not a “Special Military Operation.” No, definitely not one of them.

All initiated apparently by Donald. J. (I don’t want America getting involved in wars in far away countries) Trump…

Absolutely. IIRC, the option of turning them off was only available to very high ranking members and even then only for relatively short periods of time.

Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.

I think he’ll find the ‘ultra rich’ don’t care. They’re too busy building their bunkers and think they’ll be able to wait it out until the proles have bred enough for their exploitation to restart.

Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - ‘they’ want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’ Can’t remember which band
