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.

One thing I found helped me (and I realize this is a bit niche) but I was a windoze users thru and thru for years. I work in tech and used windoze on my work laptop, that was until I took a software engineering position at VMware and one day I noticed a coworked of mine using linux Ubuntu on his work machine. He was cooking thru a user issue on his system. After he got off the call I asked him about it and he mentioned several ways where linux just blew away windows both in power and functionality. I decided to wipe my work laptop and install linux and jumped head long in. I had used Ubuntu a bit in the past so a few things were vaguely familiar but on the whole was not comfortable using it. In no time flat I was cruising thru customer issues on my Ubuntu system too (bionic beaver for those wondering).

Since then I've used linux on my work laptop, personal laptop, and most recently my gaming desktop. I use Zorin OS (basically a customized version of Ubuntu) on all three. I love Zorin!! It rocks.

Point is, surrounding myself with it make Amy transition or relearning easier. I know not everyone has the option to use whatever os they want for work, but can't hurt to ask if you can. A lot more companies are starting to adopt byod for cell phone and laptop so in many cases this is possible.

All said linux is much more secure, powerful, and flexible than windoze or Mac. On top of all that, it has digital freedom. I highly encourage every to dump big tech. Jeff this channel rocks!!
