Thanks for the snicker.
Yes, I too have gone almost completely over to Linux for the computers I run. Still meaning to look into how to run Virtual Machines to run assorted older proggies, but I love never having to worry about malware or adware corrupting any of these machines.
No more BSOD, no more crashes, no need to purchase more programs to run the things I wish to, whether it be recording or playing vids, burning or playing CDs and DVDs, writing and editing documents of various types with ease, or working on or generating graphics of all types.
All come standard with any of the various ‘nix flavours I work with, and no need to purchase any “Office”, “Photo”, “Disk Burning”, or “Graphics Editing” additions to do the things I need to.
Also can restore easily to any previous configuration if something I added does not work the way I wished it to.
Everyone else can keep their “newest” winversion or OS-X OS. Mine work quite well without the extra headaches constantly being discovered in the non- ‘nix world. :)
So by running Linux, you’re safe from infection by Trojan malware?
Ubuntu will have a “Long Term Support” release out in April. That means Mint will have one shortly after that.
It is supposed to have the Linux 4.4 kernel and I guess a lot of other things will be updated too. I will probably stay on Win7 until then, but I expect to quit Windows for good when support for that ends (Jan 13,2020).
