Changing from Windows OS to Linux Lite

[newtusmaximus]

I switched to fully to LL some 5 years ago , as a small business user (SOHO).  In preparation id Used Open office, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, Gimp etc in their Windows versions to get used to them before converting fully to LL.  I have not found there to be any issues for normal business tasks.
Agreed that software is becoming cloud based, but this assumes that Internet connection speeds are sufficient fast and reliable,  This is especially so when considering upload speeds.Therefore IMHO desktop/laptop based tasks are still the mainstay  for the immediate/near future.
I have had to use a "modern" Windows 10 machine, recently for specialist job, and was horrified how "slow" it was, and the amount of HDD space that was wasted due to the OS and its updates.  In my mind a total waste of resource.
Giving students the confidence  to be comfortable with using the  Linux family IMHO  will be a true gift of education/freedom.
