OK, let’s get serious and go for a realistic solution instead of sounding like a room full of squabbling drunks!
(Oh yea, I have run LINUX on and off for 20 years and know the problems. And with hundreds of versions in development there are LOTS...)
Over 90% of all personal computer users do only 3 things: 1) Email, 2) Internet Browsing, 3) Office Functions. So let’s sweep the “loose change” off the table and concentrate on The Big Three.
Several years ago a group of programmers concentrated on EASIER INSTALLATION and broke through and changed the LINUX landscape. As a result MILLIONS (yes millions) of ordinary people are now happily running LINUX MINT. It has become wildly popular and is running away with the “market”.
I challenge any skeptic to download and install very specifically LINUX MINT MATE version 21.2. Then run Thunderbird Email, browse with Netscape, and use the Office software (which come pre-installed and ready to go). Then come back here and tell us how bad things are!
Computer users have been accomplishing these three things for decades without a problem with what is now considered outdated hardware and software.
Freeper super system
There are a lot of other reasons and applications for a more capable system other than the "Big three".
