I don’t want apps on my computer. I want software programs.

Eventually, I’ll have to upgrade to Linux to do that, it appears.

“I’ll have to upgrade to Linux to do that, it appears.”

I’m already pretty much switched over, using Linux most the time. Used to love Linux Mint, but now I’m hearting Xubuntu Linux instead.

One of the main advantages I find with Linux Mint over Win10 is that Linux still has the classic interface — real buttons, pull-down menus, etc. — instead of the crappy Win10 glitz interface.

I did install 3rd-party Classic Menu, but I read that Win10 will likely kill of that capability soon. MS did have the classic interface through some of the beta versions, but took it out before the major release of Win10. Classic Menu is okay, but limited.

THANKS YOU!! Everytime I see the word “App” I get the desperate urge to slap some 20-something software coding punk right across the face then, drill-sergeant-like, get within an inch of their face and holle:

“Its called SOFTWARE. It works with our COMPUTERS. Now take your Internet-destroying mobile-friendly idiot-phone “Apps” and shove them up your ***!!!”

*LOL*
