Hi everybody, just an old cripple here whose not done annoying the world yet, and trying to help people keep from pulling their hair out from computer problems. I started learning programming in 1976 on a big ol' mainframe Burroughs computer learning COBOL, I have Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon on one SSD and Windows 11 Pro 24H2 on a different SSD. I've been running Linux since 2003 and Windows since 3.1. So there's my introduction.

Welcome, MaidenHell!

I'm running Kubuntu and Windows 11 Pro, so you're in good company around here. :laugh:

I am running the Fedora KDE spin on my main box and Windows 11 Pro on a laptop.  I haven't dual-booted in almost two decades and is the worse. Why does it seem like 90% of people who are running more than one OS are dual-booting on one PC? I get it ever one has a budget but one can spend almost nothing for a box that will run Linux well. More funny almost every time someone mentions has a number of PCs they usually are all running the same OS. LOL

To each their own. I don't want to carry 2 laptops around with me, so dual booting works for me.

Why would you have to carry both? VMs and remote access are things.

There's more than one way to pick a lock, and this has worked for me. If you would like to continue the discussion, let's start a different discussion rather than taking an introduction thread off-topic.

How do you like Windows 11? Personally I think it's a buggy OS with too little thought to end user stability. As someone with decades of experience with different operating systems just wondering how you perceive it 😛 

Welcome!

BTW: My favorite edition of Windows is probably Windows 7 (the last to receive Service Packs).

Windows 7 and IE 11 = God Mode.

Back when MS was a great company and not just another Google clone ad revenue machine.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
