-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-LXer: It Can Be Any Kind Of Linux You Want: This Linux distro could be the solution for anyone jumping ship from WindowsJun 16 02:57
schestowitz[TR2]" started out getting old computers from goodwill and garage sales and other places a long time ago. I'd take them apart, figure out which ones were savable and put the good sound cards, video cards, HD's and such I had back into them to make them usable again and then installed the current version of PCLinuxOS or Linux Mint on them each and every time.Jun 16 02:57
schestowitz[TR2]I never had an issue even once.Jun 16 02:57
schestowitz[TR2]Every computer I installed them on was a Frankenstein of hardware from other computers and Linux recognized the hardware every single time. After I was done I gave the computers away to someone who couldn't afford a computer of their own. I lost count of many I gave away. I had a lot of fun and learned so much along the way, it's amazing. I helped the people I gave them too learn about their new systems, got them up and running andJun 16 02:57
schestowitz[TR2] bang! They were on their way. A new Linux user out in the wild.Jun 16 02:57
schestowitz[TR2]Doing that pointed me towards discovering LXer on the internet one day (twenty years ago) and that eventually led me to having the position I have now as Editor-in-Chief of this great website. Playing Tetris with PC’s in my living room transformed into a labour of love, what I now write and edit about and what I want to do for the rest of my life..I’m in love."Jun 16 02:57
