Re: Who Uses What OS in her/his Box?
I have installed linux and windows.
For work, internet, films... Linux (knoppix) is perfect. Like that it does not slow down over time as a Win do. If I'm have a litlle taste to play something, have here also Win7.

Re: Who Uses What OS in her/his Box?
I made an official move to Linux on my main computer about 3 years ago. Have never been happier.Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.
My computer doubles as a space heater.
Permanently Retired Systems:
RIP Advantech UNO-3072LA (2008-2021) - Decommissioned and taken out of service permanently due to lack of software support for it. Not very likely to ever be recommissioned again.
Asus Q550LF (Old main laptop, 2014-2022) - Decommissioned and stripped due to a myriad of problems, the main battery bloating being the final nail in the coffin.
Kooky and Kool Systems
- 1996 Power Macintosh 7200/120 + PC Compatibility Card - Under Restoration
- 1993 Gateway 2000 80486DX/50 - Fully Operational/WIP
- 2004 Athlon 64 Retro Gaming System - Indefinitely Parked

Re: Who Uses What OS in her/his Box?
Windows 7/Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 dual boot on both my main PCs now. Not touching Windows 10 with a ten foot pole.
I used to have 10 on my "test" PC to monitor 10 and see if it ever became usable. After watching it go in exactly the opposite direction, I gave up on it... I wiped 10 to reuse the SSD for something else. It's evident that MS is not interested in pleasing or accommodating former customers like me; rather than reversing course, they've repeatedly doubled down on everything that is wrong with 10 and the way MS has promoted it.
That's when I installed Linux on both of the other PCs too. I can migrate at my leisure now, as it will be a few years before 7 runs out of security updates.Comment
