    Re: Linux: an alternative to Windows 10

    Many thanks Paul. I'm not really a big gamer, and don't own any triple A titles, but I do game from time to time (mostly Indie games on Steam), but I also do like to 'tinker' on the development side...

    Re: Linux: an alternative to Windows 10

    Most of the people I hear singing the praise of Linux don't seem to do much more than browse the internet and manage a few files their gadgets produce. If my needs were so simple I'd be a linux...
