I am posting via Linux

[maltrab]

As I have been housebound except for medical trips I thought I would try the Linux operating system again, I was surprised how far it had come since my last
attempt a few years ago.
I thought I would like to try as a dual boot with my Windows 11 machine, then I was informed this was not be possible due to the UEFI boot manager, but with the power of Youtube and the odd prayer I found it was possible, so happy days so far

I think Terry was saying it was a version of Mint Linux

 

[maltrab]

What distro?

Linux mint, I did try with Mint LMDE but that would not work

You know what I've read from that? Terry is ill, Tony is annoyed and others have had a liquid lunch. Tell me I'm wrong.

I recognized the term "Linux", but have never used it. I've always used the Windows operating system. Out of Terry's entire post, I'm much more concerned about his health, and hope it's improving.

When I saw this thread title had a bit of a Specsavers moment thought it was going to be about this guy.

Ah, my hero

I switch back and forth between Windows and Linux. I have Linux installed on a USB stick and just boot from that. I find myself using it more and more as I go..

Never mind Linux, all Seymour wants for Christmas is Boolean Search Logic back in the search engines.
