Thank you......what I keep thinking about is....I’m 59, I’m a pretty fast learner, and fairly logical. I’ve had a computer since 1983 (Commodore)...BUT....am I up for learning a new OS? I USE computers...I don’t KNOW them, really. Part of me says it will be good for my brain....another part is a little fearful...any thoughts?

NOTE: (I cannot even figure out why my computer says NO SIGNAL and won’t load Windows - I took off the side panel and cleaned and tightened everything I could touch...still doesn’t work....having to call someone today.)

"No Signal" means a problem with the video output or with the cable. Check the connections. Have you done ANYTHING which could affect the video signal?

As I said, Linux is a low risk adventure. You don't have to spend ANY MONEY to try it out.

By the way, I'm older than you (65), although I have spent the last thirty years working with computers. Even so, I would not call myself an OS guru.

Fear is the enemy of progress.
