    Thanks. I’d say I’m a power user for program use (multiple windows, programs, etc.).

    I got it for free with my computer (lol) when I bought an open box product from a large computer store on discount.

    I used to be a sailor but have hung up my hat. The seas seem to be calling me though.

    I guess I haven’t really been confined by windows as much as I have been free to do things. Maybe the things I want to do are not extending beyond the limitations that you see. What are some things that you can do that you can’t normally do on windows?

    Are there distros that you recommend over others? Do different distros do different things? Are they for different purposes? I have some experience in fedora, Ubuntu, and very little in kali2 (school teaching)

      I’d recommend Kubuntu. Been using it for ages. I’ve been on Linux desktop for 20 years now and kubuntu is by far my favorite. It had the KDE desktop (on Linux you have different desktop brands) and KDE is by far the most powerful, prettiest, and most windows like. See it as windows desktop on steroids.

      Ubuntu (on which kubuntu is based) also has a nice way of how it manages the files though that is more a oeiet user thing.

      Can’t recommend Kubuntu enough
