RE: Linux Mint blows them all away, running on half the computer power. i.e. single processor vs dual. Linux wins!

So, how can they make this more popular and capture market share from the hated death star — Microsoft?

Linux Mint support ends in 2019. Mint is supposedly the Linux OS that most closely resembles XP. It’s polished and FAST as H3LL.

Running a single 64bit AMD Athlon with only 2gb of ram, this system boots in 13 seconds. Firefox takes one-one-thousand (speaking) to open.

On a dual proc 64bit win pc, the above takes forever. I can’t tell you how much better Linux Mint is over any win OS. And I’ve used them all includine vista (UGH).

Imagine if I had equal hardware running Linux. It would probably be a blur.

Some people are afraid of computers. So I don’t think Linux’s DIY reputation will catch on with the majority of the population. I love it though. I was so sick and tired of waiting for windows. Everything, wait wait wait. And I keep my systems well maintained. With Linux, there’s no waiting. You click on something and it happens.
