I have decided Mageia is the only distro worth having.
PCLOS is O.K. I don't run KDE. Is it sticking with SysV?
The big question nowadays is: does it support UEFI?
I have seen plenty of distros with UEFIfolders on the
installation media, that don't support UEFI.
I have just had something like an hour of "down time"
updating Win10. I couldn't leave it unattended, so
that is an hour of valuable work time lost, for every
business that runs Win10. When I finally got a
Windows desktop and thought I was ready to go,
I rebooted, intending to move to Mageia. Windows
said "No you don't. I haven't finished yet." No Linux
distro would do that to you. They have lost the plot
completely, making my belief "Use Windows for Windows
programs," of very doubtful validity.
