New Old Guy Here
by JeffRedd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DDE7)
Hello, Iim new to this forum and relatively new to Linux. I decided to try Linux Mint in an old HP Pavilion dv7t-6100 that was about 13 years old. It was ok, but I never got my Wi-Fi working quite right. And tried everything I could find on the internet.
I heard that the architecture of the motherboard of most Windows PCis are optimized for the Windows operating system and that they donit always work perfectly in Linux. So I decided that I would buy a Linux certified computer to give Linux (any distribution) a fair try, and Iim glad I did. I have tried many distributions that I ran from a thumb drive, just to check them out first, and I never had any problems with any device on my computer. It has worked flawlessly. I have had a few problems installing programs that gave me a fit.
My Lenovo ThinkPad T16 was certified for Ubuntu but I had a few problems with it. Some of the programs were not installed correctly out of the box so I decided to go with Kubuntu (Kubuntu 22.4.2 LTS KDE Plasma 5.24.7). I have really enjoyed it so far and have learned a few things (like stay away from BleachBit). Iim also trying to get better with the terminal and learning new commands.
Thanks thanks for accepting me as a member and Iim sure youill see more posts from me. Cheers!
