“Or I could just download a Linux distro and be done with the Windows jerkarama.”

As I did. I recently attended a swapmeet and bought a Dell Optiplex GX620 with dual Pentium core and 4GB of memory for the princely sum of $15. I wiped off Windows XP while installing the very latest version of Ubuntu Mate 15.04. It works great. Where’s the downside? Microsoft, KMA!!!

Have they worked out the kinks so that printers, CD card readers work without having to scour the internet?

It’s been a long time since I considered Linux.

Ubuntu Mate 15.04 (Good stuff?)

Good day to you mate.
