[Linux Mint 19] Updates download and get applied with no rebooting.

Yeah, but no FileMaker Pro, and OpenOffice etc. can't handle my more complex/large spreadsheets.

I’ve been gleefuly, joyfully and obnoxiously laughing at all these wondoz problems for the last fifteen years or so. Happily running Linux all that time.

I just LOVE reading these M$/Windoz threads, esp the ones with “help me, Windoz screwed up again” type of problems. Yeah, I’m a techie but most of my problems with Linux are based on something *I* did rather than Linux.

Linux Mint 17 right now, but I just downloaded Mint 19 and will load it on my laptop first to see if I like it. First thing I did with the laptop was shrink the Windoz 8.1 partition and install Linux on it to dual boot. I think I’m gonna just rip the HD out of it and do full Mint 19 install on a new, bigger HD.

And I’ll just keep laughing at the “Windoz screwed me again” threads.
