But the free aspect was what led you to try it out, right? There are plenty of free Linux distros that I’ve tried but don’t use. I found one I like and I use it exclusively.

What is the one you settled on?

[sionnsar]

Yup. It was free and it was Toshiba; many years ago I was very happy with their Tecra laptops. This was a major disappointment, following on my minor disappointment with the Toshiba Gigabeat "MP3" player (although the only disappointments in it were their adoption of DRM, and the wretched "Gigabeat Room" software), which was solved by installing (OSS) Rockbox on it.

But it just sits there now, until it either goes in the trash or I give it away to somebody else.

I use it exclusively.

Don't you ever get tired of posting these foreign articles, and being called on the fact you still run Windows virtually on your laptop? Apparently not.
