Hi everyone,
I am a recent windows 10 refugee. A while back the hard drive on my laptop crashed. My knee jerk response was to go out and buy a new one. I had been used to win7 and tolerated it (in a prefect world I wouldn’t own any computer). I became so disgusted with win10 that I started researching alternatives. My search led me to the concept of open source software, and Linux Lite specifically, which resonates with me much more than the prevalent consumerist mentality. It also inspired the confidence to go back to my old laptop and resurrect it with a new hard drive (1TB HDD). I chose Linux Lite as my gateway distro. Everything went smooth and its more responsive than it ever was. So now I have 2 laptops. A couple days ago I decided to keep the new one and put Mint on it as the sole os. I’m sure I will have many questions from here on out. I’m not a very technology savvy person (for me book, pen, and paper come first). The terminal especially freaks me out. All that said, I’m happy to be here and hopefully I won’t try your patience too much.
Thank You Linux Lite team! I may even start enjoying technology now!
