Hi, I’m over 65 and I’ve just dumped Win and MacOS for Linux Mint Cinnamon. Not ever going back. So, yes you should bother definitely. As other posts says, decide on a distro, find the relevant forum, join and ask questions. I tried Mint Cinnamon, XFCE, and also Gnome. The Mints are most like Windows, Gnome is a bit different. My point is once you’ve got your head round doing the SHA256 checksum malarkey and installed it, check it out, install what you need. If it runs it great. Or try a few, it’s a great thing to learn. Personally, I find it’s fantastic to get away from the tricks and all round ensh*ttification of the Win/Mac worlds. As Nike say ‘Just Do It’. 😁

Late 70’s, just after I started working. My then Union rep. ( Remember them?) was a good teacher and saw Thatcher for exactly what she was.

Greed, selfishness. I’m sure the psychologists have got a diagnosis…

👏 ‘But then I don’t understand…’ One of the universal mysteries. Probably an illness of some description.

Thanks for getting back.👍

👍 Well done there. Using Brave, DDG, Ecosia and Firefox. Got Mulvad, got Tuta. Pay for search? Who with? Moving towards self hosting. Just ditched internet on my TV.

Last paragraph: This!

Brave New World…

Your hill - first two sentences absolutely, in UK so no chikfila.

4 days years decades.

Absolutely correct. All your post, especially the last two sentences. Dunning-Kruger seems to have become infectious.

Definitely not a “Special Military Operation.” No, definitely not one of them.

Great post. Fantastic username!

Absolutely. IIRC, the option of turning them off was only available to very high ranking members and even then only for relatively short periods of time.

Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.

That’s the one, thanks. Almost got it right!

Errm. Weren’t the Taliban in control before the coalition went into Afghanistan, and I’m pretty sure last time I heard anything about Afghanistan the Taliban were still there in control.

Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - ‘they’ want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’ Can’t remember which band
