Seriously... Make your life easier and have peace of mind. Highly suggest the Cinnamon, it functions the same as Win 7.
If you would like to try it out and need a hand PM me and I would be privileged to help. I have all the details. You can test it out without actually installing it yet.
I just went to the Linux link you provided, and I must say, I'm intrigued. Linux has definitely come a long way since I was first introduced to Ubuntu in 2010. It now looks like a product that non-techies can handle without too much trouble.
Years ago, the learning curve was just too steep for most simple users to manage. I do agree with you - it looks and behaves a lot like Windows - which is perfect for newcomers looking to break free from Microsoft for the first time.
I saved the link, just in case I get up the nerve. Thanks!
What about all the drivers this evil Alienware needs?
It’s the Alienware 17 consolation prize for when they “couldn’t fix” my Alienware 18.
Locked into Win10 by the stupid drivers since there are no Win7 drivers available for the hardware.
I hate 10 with a passion, even after installing Classic Shell.
Sucks.
