After a relative lifetime of being a Mac user (nice kit, lasts well, doesn't break too often and you get your moneys worth because it lasts)
I got some spare PC parts from my son who had upgraded his gaming rig, acquired a few more bits and pieces and built myself a Linux box - running Mint 19.1.I dabbled with Mint a few years ago, dipped my toe in the water but never had time to become fully committed as it were.
Now with retirement approaching, I thought that I would stretch my brain a bit and take the plunge. Thanks already to various contributors on the forum who have provided a beacon to show the way forward.
