I just hope my Win7 Laptop and Desktop hold out.

And Linux is still way behind. I bought a Linux laptop to try out before the Win7 machines wear out. One almost has to be a programmer just to install software and updates.

I heard one sales rep on HSN or QVC admit that Win10 was designed for touchscreens. It sure wasn’t designed for productivity.

“One almost has to be a programmer just to install software and updates.”

You don’t need the word “almost” in that sentence.
The problem is compounded by not really having an official user manual that helps to solve problems. If you ask on the forums you can get answers that are helpful but mostly you get snark.

What Linux distro were you using? I installed several packages on Ubuntu without any difficulty, and without using the command line.

I found the Fedora install to be effortless.
