I’m still on Windows 7 for the email. What’s a good Linux for conservatives?

I started out on Linux Zorin but was unable to update it for unknown reasons so I also have Linux Mint. The best thing about Linux is it has never slowed down for me. Windows, no matter what I did, kept s l o w i n g down to a crawl. Linux is just as fast now as the day I started. I can't go back.

Pretty much any of them, as you will not be supporting them with your dollars.

Anyone outside of your house probably won't know the details, either.

I personally like Fedora (I'm a Red Hat admin), and I also run Pop!_OS at home. Both are developed in the States.

I have Windows 7, 10 and Linux Mint all running on my computer. Tri-boot. It takes a bit of tinkering but it can be done.

That said, I primarily use W10 at present, going back to W7 in order to use older Adobe products, Acrobat 10 and Photoshop CS5 as needed. But when W10 is no longer supported, I have my Linux O/S ready to go.

It belongs completely to you... So be who you want to be with it. There is nothing political or restrictive in the OS it’s self. It is not like Microsoft who controls everything you do with it. :)

If you want an almost same thing as Win 7 get Mint Cinnamon. As the article states... :)

Avoid the many Linux OS variations that will stump you.

In order to do that, visit many websites of the many applications that you will use and might use. Study their installation guides for Linux OS.

Example: Brave Browser: https://brave.com/linux/

Compile a list of the Linux OS versions that are the most compatible, in your view, for all such applications.

AVOID FlatPak and Snap.
