I tried Red Hat Linux (v.5) back in 1998, and have been using different distributions exclusively since. Debian linux is my go-to "flavour" for the last 10 years (with over 30,000 free software programs at my disposal. The only time I require Windows (or Mac) is for one tax program I use each year. Everything else (music, video, entertainment, graphics, office, etc) is done on linux and I've always been satisfied with the results. Linux has "saved" a lot of windows machines I have had to do I.T. work on (like recovering the files from a damaged hard drive) and have even had a few seniors switch over when they realized what a pain Windows can be.
Thank you, Bob, for this article! It's good to see an article written in an easy to understand format that we can share with others who are questioning whether to try linux!

Wow, I had no idea that so many people were fed up with windows and Microsoft. I've tried several Linux distro's, among them are Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Q4os both Trinity and Plasma, Mint, Zorin, Peppermint. Of the ones I've tried, Zorin, Q4os Plasma, and Mint are the ones I like the best and have on multiple machines. I have found however that MS Teams does not work well with Kubuntu on the machine I tried it on. The sound and movements were not coordinated and each were delayed from 3 to 5 seconds. I've not tried MS Teams on another Linux machine. Other than that I've had good experiences with Linux.
