I do not recommend       it for novices or for anyone who wants a PC that is easy to operate and       troubleshoot."              https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-replace-windows-with-linux/                     First installer Linux distro was released in 1992:              https://www.reddit.com/r/vintageunix/comments/1bqa44n/mcc_interi       _linux_097pl2_from_1992_with_x_and/              So 34 years later and it's still a pain to switch to Linux?                     You know what I always say:              __ __ ______              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
