" I switched to Linux Mint 20 with Cinnamon desktop. I am using an old Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB solid state drive, with just the original 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. You would not believe how fast this system operates. I am an old guy in my 70’s and certainly not a computer whiz. I did a lot of reading and found even older PC’s can operate superbly and fast with Linux. I proved it in my own machine. By the way, the Lenovo machine was given to me FREE and I just installed by own solid state hard drive. People need to escape TODAY from the Microsoft plantation. "

That presumes that the work everyone does can be done on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB solid state drive, with just the original 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, and using Linux. Or they have little idea of how much easy customization can be done with Windows. I have tried every major and many minor Linux distros, and run Mint on one desktop, but find them all lacking the scope and depth of customization available for Windows, for free. It is just not worth the time it would take to switch to Linux, though I am glad there is an alternative. Thank God.

Hey at least you gave it a try. That is commendable. You discovered your reasons and it is what it is.

Many complain and do nothing else but complain.
