My dog uses Windows NT and hates the vacuum cleaner. The wife, however, uses Mint and seems very happy. But...
Yesterday I got in trouble because I block all Facebook IPs on one of my firewalls. Today, the Wall Street Journal gave me redemption on the frount page, top story: Apps Send Sensitive User Information Directly to Facebook. I am now, for a short while anyway, popular with the fans at home.

I really wanna see his face when I show him how quite a few games run better with higher FPS with Linux than they do with Windows.

I use Windows 10, when I want to play a game that doesn't run on Mint. The only one that comes to mind immediately is Lego Worlds or something like that (obviously, I haven't played it in a while). My Borderlands games run flawlessly on Mint. Almost half of my games run on Mint.old_noob wrote: ⤴Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:18 pm I am the lone Linux user in our household.
