You are correct, my sleep-cycle hasn't been great recently (as always), but I'm working on getting it back to normal. Thanks for the welcome, I'm glad to be herekdemeoz wrote:Hi Zoey.

Re: Welcome Ladies - post here :)
Hello, ladies! I just spent this past weekend adding Linux Mint to my machines. It saved a "vintage" Macbook from the garbage! It was 8 years old before it stopped booting OS X, but this morning booted up Linux Mint like a champ! This has me very excited & I'm hoping some smaller distributions will save an old netbook and Gateway laptop too, but I haven't gotten that far along in my journey. I just hate seeing things go to waste. Since I basically have no idea what I'm doing (I haven't tried to write code in almost 2 decades and was totally under the point and click spell of Apple) I will probably need help at some point. I'm going to learn this thing inside and out, command line and all. I'll probably crash a few computers. It'll be a fun adventure!

They will. I have antiX running on a computer that had Win98 on it when I got it, and it runs surprisingly well. One of these days I need to make a list of lightweight Linux distributions, or find one on the internet and bookmark it, because this comes up all the time. Let's see, there is also LXLE, and Bodhi has a "Legacy" version for older computers. Lots of lightweight distros out there. Welcome to Linux Mint! Your attitude tells me you will soon be a great resource to others here.moonlitwish1 wrote:I'm hoping some smaller distributions will save an old netbook and Gateway laptop too

Hello! Just joined the forum today though I've been reading or come here when I have an issue for about 3 years now. Full-time Mint user on one HP manufactured in 2009 and another manufactured in 2013! I'm also running the Legacy Bodhi on a machine manufactured in 2001, though I only use that machine for my husband as his video watcher. lol

I'm completely brand new to Linux. I've used Windows, Mac, and Chrome OSes but so far 18.3 Slyvia is my favorite. I wish I could get Visual Studio 15 for school, but otherwise I have no complaints.

I am a retired IT (Windows) female residing in Essex UK. I have built many PC workstations for friends and family over the years and still keep busy helping them when they need assistance.
I first tried several Linux distros about 10 years ago, and boy, what a slog it was in those days. I managed to get some of them up and running but found that I was only tinkering with them and not actually doing any work so I returned to Windows.
With the upcoming expiry of Win 7 and the miserable future offered by Win 10 I thought I would have another attempt at Linux.
I did some research, watched loads of YouTube videos, checked to see if I had compatible hardware and then decided on Linux Mint as my first choice.
I installed it the other day and was flabbergasted that the installation went like a dream and gave me no problems at all.
Now I have to learn how to use it.
I have only one application that I will miss (AudiobookCutterPro) to split my audiobooks into 15 minute chunks. I have another topic for that: Program to split mp3 audiobooks in 15 minute files
I believe Linux Mint will do everything else I need and I am looking forward to the learning process.
