    I’ve also just moved to Linux (my first computer ran on MS-DOS) and it was easy peasy. Moving my data over was taking a while, so I stepped out to brings the bins in. Slipped on ice and am now in hospital, recovering from surgery to a wrecked knee. Looks like I’ll have plenty of time to move the data when I get home.

    Only thing I haven’t got to work yet for some reason is my windscribe VPN application. Easy move, really. Mint cinnamon.

        Windscribe has Linux versions. I just haven’t gotten it to work yet. I haven’t given it much time into getting it figured out yet. I like windscribe and buy it yearly, so I’m not planning on switching any time soon.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
