My 12+ year old multifunction printer/scanner/fax stopped scanning a couple years ago when I was on windows. Last night installed xsane backend drivers on my Linux machine now I have more scanning options and settings than I had when it was new. Loving Linux.

Did not want to give up my iPhone on the 3G network but was forced to. Turning everything possible off on this new phone. HP first shut down my printer and then my laptop. Need suggestions for a new laptop on which I am installing Linux…because I’ve had it with all this nonsense!

Heads up there is a story in a lot of the media today about how Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, was paying for two employees in the Resident's White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and that many other former Google execs have been working there, for the past year.

What does it mean? More direct links between Google, and the Democrats ... specifically, the Resident's White House.

Is anyone surprised? We didn't think so.

For a long time, the political left has controlled America's technology. It doesn't have to be that way.

It is time for "We the people" of America to start building and managing our technology, not just the radical left with their connections to China and the surveillance state!

I just installed Linux MINT on my wife's 10+ year old dinosaur running Windows-7 (until tonight!).... gave the old clunker a breach of fresh air and a welcome into 2022, after sitting unused in a closet for 8+ years!

Did you have to offload files before you switched the OS? I am working on a Windows 7 clunker. The best thing about it is Windows no longer supports the OS and every update was like a virus. One other question: back in the 1990s I ran Windows OS and Apple OS on my PowerPC 5000. Can one run a Linux system on a bifurcated basis??

Anyone remember this?

Does anyone use Lubuntu? After I put Mint/cinnamon on my daughter's laptop, I realized that Mint probably wasn't the best choice for my older laptop (has 3GB) Lubuntu says it can get by with 1GB, that ought to speed things up a bit.
