Distributions / Which Linux Distro Should We R...
Last post by buster - December 23, 2025, 04:47:31 PMJesse Smith on Distrowatch tests more Linux distributions in a year than most of us can name. He has selected four, but with one he strongly recommends as the best for beginners. It is not the one I use, nor is it the one he uses, but I like his first two choices. Bill and I will not be surprised by his choice for position one or two. So, if someone is giving up their Win10 machine to a Linux distro, which one should we recommend, and probably actually install for him or her?
Here are Jesse's choice four choices:

Edit. - When I click on More, in my initial first post, there is no Delete option.
When I click on More on my last post, there is a Delete option for that particular post.
Sorry that I'm just now seeing this, Bill. I may have set it that people can't delete posts after a certain amount of time. I'm not really sure why people would want to and it breaks threads if people do it. I'll try to remember to check the settings later and see what I did.

Last post by Jason - December 13, 2025, 06:49:47 AMQuote from: buster on November 12, 2025, 11:58:39 AMThe simplest answer is that Microsoft likes me and is giving me special treatment. There is no need to be upset if you don't get the 'special treatment'. My mother always said I needed and deserved special treatment.
Yeah, yeah. I know that's not true because my mom said the same thing about me.

Last post by Jason - December 13, 2025, 06:42:12 AMI'm guessing you don't like using webmail, assuming that Trent even has that option.?
So they're using servers that only let Outlook clients connect? I guess they're using extensions that are normally available on Outlook? I know that Evolution on Linux had an paid extension that would let you connect to Outlook servers.
Personally, I would give a big F U to the university and just have it forward all my email to a standard email account. You could see if Gmail will import it, from one monopoly to another, they may have worked out a deal to allow you to import that account.
My university recommends that students use LibreOffice. :-)

Last post by buster - December 09, 2025, 12:59:32 PM'Ownership' of the Internet, and the movie industry, is being concentrated again. Netflix is buying Warner Bros.
Car manufacturing went through the same process years ago. The final Studebaker was assembled in Hamilton when I was growing up. I remember seeing Hudsons as well.
And wealth is being centralized as you read this.
And from what I've seen in my 86 years, in the future Southern Ontario may have to be renamed 'Greater Toronto'. From our house my friends and I used to be able to bike out to the orchards and creeks. It's all urban now and is totally connected to Toronto.
