I love little babies, too!
They’re just like little old people: no hair, no teeth, can’t walk, can’t talk, need to be fed and cleaned....
;o]
To: Monkey Face
But babies are much smaller.

Whaddya mean for days? I'm back. *\;-)
This is sort of equivalent to trying out a different version of Windows -- except it's a different version of Linux.
I've been a user of a "window manager" called KDE for about a decade now. Of the various window managers it looks most like Microsoft Windows.
The version of Linux I've been using for the past 2 or 3 years is called Kubuntu. This is based on a very popular desktop Linux system for users called Ubuntu, using KDE instead of Ubuntu's Gnome. Gnome does some fancy things (semi-transparent windows -- I'm not certain if KDE has that now) but it requires a fairly high-performance machine.
RIght now I'm playing with Xubuntu, which uses a lightweight window manager called XFCE (I forget what that stands for). That means there's less "flash" to it, but it should also be snappier -- and to be sure, Kubuntu was never quick on this old machine.
We'll see... I have some tests to run.

I like Brussels sprouts! And cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. I just don’t buy them often.

I like sprouts, and in the right ways, cabbage.
Tests are interesting. Xubuntu is definitely snappier than Kubuntu. A few more details to figure out and then I think I am going to start the switchover.

Yah. The install doesn't take too long, but backing up my data... I have legacies of I don't recall how many computers on this one.
Just found it has a "Flying Toaster" screensaver! *\;-)

I took a shower, so if one is missing, you’ll know where it is.
