You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead, hands.

Wyndoze 10 and Linux Mint

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

All these open source OS's have the problem of not allowing me to even get past the install.

Linux sucks if I can't even get it running.

It rocks for technically proficient geeks. Unfortunately I'm merely nerdy.

In my experience windows installs are generally more painful then Linux ones. The only issue I have ever had with Linux installs is poorly supported hard ware.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I've never installed Windows either, all the computers I have ever had have had a copy of Windows pre-installed on them.

I've installed Windows numerous times for friends. It's definitely a bigger pain in the arse than Linux installs.

Yeah, I agree.  I was a strong fan of XP after they got it properly patched up, but Windows 7 really turned it up to "11" for me.

Windows 8 I totally hate, except for one thing-- omg those fast boot times!  My daughter has a pretty good comp with Windows 8, and I have a very good comp with Windows 7, and her boot time is 1/4 mine. The only problem is-- she has to use Windows 8. Tongue

Win10 has definitely settled down for me.
Like 7 but faster boot as mentioned.

Is there an easy way to dual boot win10 and Linux these days.
Someone remind me again why I need Linux? I forgot.
