Satya Nadella, meet my little friend, Linux. ;-)

I installed Windows 10 on my Dell i5 laptop with an ssd drive and 8gb ram. It is a real slug compared to Linux Mint. I Windows 10, click wait for a second, click wait for a second, etc. It must be phoning home with every click.

Linux is snappy and very responsive. I use Linux 99% of the time.

Good for you! Now get the Hell off this thread. Why it is that people think it's okay to come to a Windows thread to pimp Linux is beyond me.

Ping to the Windows ping list.

99% of businesses use Windows on the desktop.

Linux works great for certain applications and servers. But on the desktop? Not gonna happen.

While I like both Trump and Cruz, I do think that Trump will be better able to win in November and has the type of personality required to GET A LOT DONE as President.

I’ve been playing with Ubuntu and Mint and both are way more responsive.

Lately I’ve looked at Linux academy to learn more and get beyond just playing with Linux.
