Re: The curse of overchoice
Thank you, yes - I just want to be pointed to an ISO that will install a version of linux that looks vaguely Windows-like on my old laptop. That is how I (and others) will be persuaded to make the change.
What I *get* is a dozen different recommendations of flavours of Linux and no idea which to choose or even how to choose.
Mint seems popular but I don't even know quite what Mint is, or where to get it, or even if getting it is the whole story or if it is something you install with a different kernel or what.
In short, it is an off-putting mess for new starters. I'm willing to try it, but the pro-Linux community seem incapable of rallying around a starter system that would get people to migrate.
If anyone can point to an ISO that would work like a Windows install disk would, I'd be very grateful.
