I noticed the latest update is noticeably faster than before. You never see that with MS.
Plus, you do not need to buy a new computer every 3 years to get the latest OS to run.
My main desktop is a 7 year old hand me down box with a new p/s and a 100’s of gpus video card. Works great / less filling.
I still don’t understand why the SSDs I tried would not accommodate cinnamon lockups.
