Re: people understanding
I have to agree. My circumstances are different, retired but still playing with computers. I have 3 x W7 machines, 1 x W10 machines and 1 Linux machine (Mint 20.2 Cinnamon) which is an 11.6" notebook for casual use whilst blobbing out in front of the TV.
The Linux machine works well (better than it did with W10), mainly runs a browser (Slimjet) and a couple of apps I've written. Those use WINE.
I could duplicate my development environment from my W7 machine but the amount of time to either find alternatives to all the software acquired over the years or re-write my homebrew stuff would be massive.
If only I'd started using Linux when I was developing on PICK based minis or writing code in Delphi.
