Hi everyone

[newtusmaximus]

ian_r_h  welcome.  I changed over circa 2014 from VISTA.  Same brief SOHO.  Had been getting used to what was then Open Office and Thunderbird, Skype, GIMP etc on Windows format for some time before the change over so as there was not too much "shock".  You will find you will save a great deal of HDD space as LL is feature rich but far from bloated and rock steady.  i.e can be relied upon.  Wealth of experienced users on here so if you have questions, issues then just say so.  You will come to realise that this change over has been a sound move..
