Default Why throw away a perfectly good laptop? Great opportunity!

Hi Steve,

Many people haven't touched Linux (which is an operating system - an alternative to using Windows)...

But some people prefer it...

There are several "flavors" of Linux... The article Steve linked to recommended one called "Linux Mint"... https://linuxmint.com

Why throw away a perfectly good laptop because Windows 7 isn't being supported any more? Many hate Windows 10 anyway!

And, a good money-making opportunity too...

Thanks Steve!

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. I actually know someone still using Windows 95... (No, it's not me... )
