      Girlfriend agreed to try Linux πŸ˜„ So after I copy some data (and see if this hard drive is reporting bad sectors), her freedom begins.

      Which one are you using?

      Going to use Linux Mint Cinnamon. I like Fedora, but I'm not sure that's the best choice for a newbie.

        Deepin Linux is another one she could try too.

          Does Mint make it easier? Having used both, I like Fedora Cinnamon over Mint for a newbie using Cinnamon. Mint is decent, but I don't think quite as straightforward.

              Truth be told she'll probably be happy with either. She won't know the difference, and it might be wiser to use Fedora. That way I'm only supporting one thing πŸ™‚

                All the major, and a lot of minor, desktop managers are available for every major distribution. So she won't know the difference anyway. Fedora + Cinnamon is my personal favorite, and what I've installed for friends.

                Those that have annoyed me get Ubuntu.

                    Deploying chocolatey packages via ansible playbook to several interview room computers. Very cool.

                          Been getting random no response message so I’m using Ansible for now until I can solve that issue.

                                          So much rain, water is coming through the walls now 😞

                                          Definitely storm damage. Paul is heading to the attic to see how bad it is up there.
