Ordinarily I try to be careful about using MSN stuff. Seems a significant amount involves being generated using A.I. including even the topic to be addressed (hence kookie topics like “what would happen if a needle hit earth at the speed of light”).
Suspicious in this case is that the OS distributions listed didnt appear that familiar relative to what I felt were observed historically as discussed in the Anandtech forums.
I see now (and yes, using AI) that the top most popular LINUX distributions listed are:
– Ubuntu,
– Linux Mint,
– Debian,
– Fedora, and
– Arch Linux
…… and Im guessing it’s for a good reason. Mainly, that these are the ones that, after actually really using, people prefer.
My very limited past experience with LINUX has been with “PUPPY.”
(It is great. Boot from a CD or even a floppy, works resident in ram and in just a couple minutes pretty much a complete novice can be up & running – internet, games and utilities. BTW, it is also useful for shot gunning over such things as damaged files which wont delete in Windows.)
Anyways, my concern is about the direction of current Windows development. I feel that Im seeing many bothersome issues now too numerous to discuss, but they encompass small annoying to extremely large and concerning.
Perhaps resultantly, I am (or at least feel that I am) hearing more voices expressing interest in exploring a Windows alternative and hence, one of the reasons why I posted.
