Title: Ditched Windows 10
Post by: wimc on Aug 29, 2016, 11:14:47 PM: Once again ditched Windows (10).

Been using Bodhi Linux (http://www.bodhilinux.com/) for nearly a month, and love it.

Default Desktop (http://www.dusttrail.net/images/desktop/default.jpg) (image is 1920x1080), will be changing background to one of my own images sometime.

Okay, know what you're talking about, Chromium (https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os).

Post by: Jim on Aug 31, 2016, 08:50:35 PM: I bet it's a Windows system. Chrome is Google's web browser.

Post by: sunsoaker on Aug 31, 2016, 08:58:05 PM: Chrome is also an operating system, look up chrome laptops.

Post by: Jim on Sep 01, 2016, 07:46:47 AM: Yep and it's based on the Chrome web browser and is therefore best suited for web applications. Acer does sell quite a few chromebooks.

Post by: wimc on Sep 03, 2016, 01:43:39 PM: Bodhi Linux is about to release version 4 soon, current stable release is 3.2.1, went out and bought blank CD's to burn version 4 to, starting over.

Will start over only if certain programs works with 4, mainly for the graphics card.

Edit: by the way, used Linux "off and on" for a very long time.

Post by: wimc on Sep 15, 2016, 07:43:49 AM: Put Windows 10 back on main PC. In favor of future development of my programs (http://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/index.php/topic,5723.0.html).
Title: Re: Ditched Windows 10
Post by: wimc on Sep 21, 2016, 02:09:03 PM: I do not like Windows 10 at all. Bodhi Linux is back on, as of yesterday.
