FFS Microsoft. Making this easy to switch back to Linux and haven't switched back because I still love my flight sims. But this, hell no. Anons recommend Linux Mint? Haven't had a Linux distro installed since the days when Redhat was actually free and Slackware was a distro with no forks.
ThankQ, anons. It's been a while since I've used it but returning should be a short learning curve. Always preferred the command line interface for some odd reason. Began using computers back when MS/DOS was on 5.25" floppies, Oregon Trail on Mac IIs heh. Was thinking about Ubuntu. Think I'll just partition out a chunk of HDD space and slap distros on it til I find something I like.
