Android is Linux.
The idea that a Linux distro could never go mainstream is not true. It just has to be marketed correctly.

I have Zorin because I got tired of Windows getting slower, slower, slower.

Almost every website server out there is Linux. All the super computers and CERN are Linux. Whole countries run Linux as their government data system. Smart appliances all run Linux.
MS is nothing anymore compared to what runs Linux. Except desktops because people are lazy. Just too lazy to try it.

How does Linux work. So far over the last year, flawlessly.

It takes about 2 weeks to make the transition. Nothing windows does can’t be done on Linux.

Isn’t that great? Updates do not break it and it needs very little if any maintenance. It is just solid, stable, and works.

Do you need MS DOS installed to install Lenox?

Anxious about command line, as I have ADD and osteoarthritis = don’t care to type much or remember stuff with precision. Suggestions?

It takes about 2 weeks to make the transition. Nothing windows does can’t be done on Linux. That has not been my experience.
1. I do a great deal of work in PowerPoint that is published via Acrobat. The Linux pdf publishing and editing software is not equivalent. I haven't got into it but I don't think it even allows me to manage links in pdf.
2. The pdf software in Linux I have used so far does not do OCR, which I need for research purposes. A lot of important old books are just scans.
3. Photoshop is not functional on Linux. Please don't tell me that GIMP is equivalent; its RAW editor isn't even close. 4. I have a 13GB outlook.pst file that has been a total pain to convert to mbox for Thunderbird on Win10, even with well regarded third party software. I won't even attempt to move the Win10 Thunderbird data to a Linux Thunderbird until it works. I absolutely must have that monster email history to function.
Yes, the bulk of those problems are with Adobe, and yes, they are crooks. I upgraded a processor and mother board, leaving Acrobat 11 on the hard drive untouched and they wouldn't let it run without buying one of their overpriced subscriptions for software I had already paid for. That should be illegal. They ripped me off for a whole Creative Suite the last time I upgraded the tower. See tag line.
If anyone here has solved these problems before, I need help. Please respond by FReepmail.
