Goodbye Windows, hello Linux - RCND - 07-02-2015
Howdy All:
I am currently installing Windows 7 on my Mother's Computer. She is elderly and is more comfortable with Windows. It is an upgrade from XP.
I started using Linux after a home build because i did not wish to give Mr. Gates anymore of my hard earned dollars. I started out with Ubuntu 11 (Narwhal) went quickly to Kubuntu.
Since then I have downloaded and used many Distros. The one thing that I can honestly say is every new release gets better and more "Out of the box ready".
My complaint is, I have forgotten all the crap that I have to install to make Windows a semi secure OS. I have been installing second party software for the last three hours and still haven't got to installing her old files.
You guys ROCK, LINUX LITE ROCKS.
See You Later
Robert

I would like to apologize for the title of my post. I do not hate linux, in fact just love it.
In my opinion Linux has gotten so much better with each release, that the user does not have to do much at all when installing to have a fully functional OS.
When I was using MS products jumping thru hoopes was normal for security reasons and I still remember "Driver Hell" for newly installed components.
Take Care All.

You don't have to apologise, it reminded me of the 10cc song, I Don't Like Cricket (I Love It) ;D

I also hated all the work to make windows only semi-secure. Decided to try Linux and installed Kubuntu for my first distro. Loved it but eventually started distro-hopping for an even better experience. Eventually found Linux Lite 1.6 and have been enjoying using Lite on my primary desktop computer for just over two years. I also converted three friends to Linux by installing Lite on their computers. A wonderful experience that has made computer use much less frustrating.
