  • I ran across this article from CNET cautioning me, "Don't Buy a Refurbished or Used Windows 10 Computer".

    I ran across this article from CNET cautioning me, "Don't Buy a Refurbished or Used Windows 10 Computer". I have it a quick glance and found that it has no interesting advice for me. Basically, their argument is if it's Windows 10, it probably won't run Windows 11. But, what if I don't want to run Windows 11? Or 10 for that matter. These "old" and unupgradable Windows PCs are perfect for Linux, which somehow does even warrant a mention in the article.

    Don't Buy a Refurbished or Used Windows 10 Computer

    It's a trap! There are some great deals on used and refurbished desktops and laptops that are still running Windows 10. Don't do it.

  • It's a red letter day for the college course I'm taking!

    It's a red letter day for the college course I'm taking! Out of the potential 810 points, I now have 507, with 300 still up for grabs! So, I'm passing the class with a D if I don't earn a single point in the next 2 weeks. This is the point where my stress levels start to go down a little bit. I'm going to pass. Two more weeks to go and we can put this one in the books.

  • Why is it these guys always seem to want to install Linux on hardware that goes out of it's way to be Linux hostile?

    Why is it these guys always seem to want to install Linux on hardware that goes out of it's way to be Linux hostile?

    "I had a hard time installing Linux on a Microsoft Surface, so Linux is hard to install."

    Sheesh. There's a metric shit tonne of hardware you can't install Windows 11 on. Does that mean we can all agree Windows isn't for novices or for anyone who wants a PC that is easy to operate and troubleshoot? Based on the standards defined by the author, seems so.

    I've used Windows for decades, but I tried Linux to see if it's truly 'easy' now - and one thing surprised me

    Should you switch to Linux? Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a great alternative - for some.

  • I actually gave this a try today.

    I actually gave this a try today. My wife has a USB-C port replicator she uses for her computer, and I just unplugged her laptop from it and plugged in my phone. That easy.

    It was surprisingly usable. I didn't get too far into the nitty-gritty, but #Vivaldi opened up in what looked like a Desktop mode. The app drawer worked, and I fired up Google Docs no problem to type on a bigger screen.

    I only took 5 minutes, but those 5 minutes implied this could replace ChromeOS.
