Good. I'm a Linux missionary, and love any and all "converts."
I will convert when Linux can run iTunes and talk to Apple products. Good luck.
As bad as I detest Micro$oft at least we could get things going in that environment. I still have a Window$ box here to run tax software.
I intend to so something different next year. Win 10 is on the way out for a lot of hardware Win 11 won't support. I'm actually looking forward to scarfing up some nice boxes just because Win 11 won't run on it.I fixed up an old dell laptop with Mint for my wife, she loves it and she has been (and still is for work) a Window$ user from way back.
Yep Win 10 is on the way out 2025 is EOL. Whether or not MS gives out a permanent license with no support hasnt been divulged, if they dont the software just quits working after 1 year. At that point Zorin HD will be swapped into that laptop.
Now as to picking up cheap laptops 189.00 bucks bought me a 3 year old refurbished corporate lease return Dell loaded with Win 10 pro and updated to 11 Pro on registration. Quite impressed looks and runs like new, came with a 1 year no BS warranty.
Rocky, wine cant talk to itunes as its not a MS app, secondly Linux without iTunes cant sync or talk to Apple iOS which means without it I cant keep backups for my phone or iPad or the 2 iPods, nor can I load any music or podcasts or anything else onto the devices making the iPods worthless. Phone and iPad can use the cloud, but you cant store music on the cloud. I havent listened to radio or cd since 2006 since I can just plug in a USB cord to my stereo connected to phone, iPad or 1 of the iPods and have access to roughly 75 gig of music.
Do I love MS nope, but its a necessary evil in another couple ways, as in the logic software i need to talk to Siemens PLC’s wont run on linux or apple, neither will my software for Allen Bradley or GE Fanuc. Those make money.
