First time posting here:-) ...finally ready for a new laptop (been MAC user many yrs ) and want out ... any help on making a new change on what you be top choice make/model etc? any suggestions graetful!

Ubuntu loaded on my HP. This laptop would take over 5 minutes to start up brand new. Now it's up and running quick and everything is so much faster.

The hammer and the nail!! Last month Jeff asked me (us) a question about my (our) satisfaction with big tech. I could have tried to justify if I wanted, but, Apple decided to tell me at the same time that my privacy was theirs and I'd just have to love it!! Not so I screamed!! I replaced the MacOS with Mint - The hammer! Score one for the home team, However, that left the nice cushy, do everything I wanted, I-Phone! It fit so nicely in the palm of my hand :) I searched and found the pinephone - the nail!! Now my I-Phone is crying, literally begging me to stay - don't go, it whimpers! I can tell you what you need based on what you've done in the past After all, I know your every whim!! I closed the door and walked away a free man who's discovered the power of FOSS!!

If you don't have an email addy you like, go with a provider focused on privacy like ProtonMail or HushMail

I took my 2010 iMac and put Mint on it. The Mac hardware is still outstanding for driving the Linux OS. Stick with what you have and breathe new life into it

Absolutely! You'll be able to replace most everything with FOSS. May take a little relearning, but that's half the fun. iCloud is a nasty one, but Evolution or Thunderbird can get all of your mail. Download all of your pictures from iCLoud, then delete from iCloud. Music is another story but it can be done. You can fire Apple/Microsoft/Google?facebook and still live a very productive life!! LOL :) Just WIN!!

I got a MacBook Pro on eBay for $200. It took no time at all to replace the OS it came with to Ubuntu. Go for it

I will be getting a PinePhone soon but.... want to mess around with my rooted iPhone 8. What other OS can I put on there?

Anyone with experience running trading software, mt4, and multiple monitors. My broker has a linux version. I can't get it to run yet but just started. Also may be able to run windows version inside ubuntu. Any help appreciated. I am brand new at linux.

I just installed Linux Mint on my main computer. It feels good!!

According to research website Statista, there are 6.37 billion mobile smartphone users in the world as of 2021. This number is projected to continue rising.

All eyes will see him! I’ve always wondered how!?! Wonder no more

Question: I’m about to remove my dual boot setup on my desktop and go full Linux. I think I know how to do this cleanly, but I was told I would have to fix grub boot menu? Not sure how to do that.

Also my desktop has 3 drives, two are M.2 drives on the motherboard, one is a sata 2.5 drive. The one M.2 drive is my boot drive which linux is booted off, and the other two are storage for different things (fast/sensitive stuff goes on M.2 and normal stuff goes on sata 2.5). Obviously the linux system is booted off the one M.2 drive so it sees it, and it can also see the sata 2.5 drive. However, it cannot see or find the other M.2 drive. Is there config for this I need to switch? Is it in the bios settings, or is it because its mounted to windows currently?

No worries, I've installed a version of Linux on five computers. Some old some newer, all worked fine. Just do it!

Back Market has a great selection. Refurbed and reasonable prices and great customer service.

Checkout the Clear phones, they look nice and the site also offers cell service as well if your interested. I am planning to purchase on of the phones once I get some bills paid off. My current phone is an oneplus 6t running lineageOS.

Y'all, I am planning to purchase a new graphic card for Linux gaming. Which brand will give me better Linux support?

I've been using Geeqie for almost 20 years. Finally ran the find duplicates on over 100,000 images. Let it run overnight. Cleaned up all sorts of duplicates. You might need a bunch of RAM. I had 32Gig.
