My problem with Linux was that in the three versions I tried the updates eventually immobilized the machinne with no way to get at anything from the keyboard or mouse. And yes, I am NOT a tech savy person. I really don’t care for funding MSFT but stick to My W7 because my preferred photop prgrams that do what I want to do withoug having hundreds of options I don’t use cluttering the screen - those programs are W95 vintage and do not run on anything later than 7.

That's precisely why I have a Win7 VM, which can run under either my Linux machine, or my MacOS machine. (I stopped installing Windows "on the metal" many years ago, it's just too messy when things go wrong.)

I have half a dozen Windows-only applications whose mid-late 90's releases work so simply and so well that I refuse to deal with the later versions.
