(from my Linux computer)
I’ve been using Cinammon Mint OS now (v 17.2) and it’s nice. Beats windoze hands down.
My Linux pc only has one 64bit AMD cpu and it blows away any windoze pc (dual or quad cpu) I have.
I use ONLY the Linux pc for surfing the web, e-mail and anything with $, i.e. ordering stuff, or whatever. I really like this OS.
I’ve been using some for of Linux since 1994.
Currently it is Debian.
Have run a lot of different distributions.
I Particularly like XFCE GUI. Have been using that since Redhat 8 came out. It was not part of the install package, I added it. Used it on all distributions I have installed since.
I’m using Ubuntu a lot more these days.
‘doze is going to mostly relegated to a handful of applications.
Yes there is WINE and Virtualbox. I’m usually too fried after a week of the techno-incompetent a lot to play with either very much.
