Been there and done that with Linux. Of the latest distros
(distributions or versions), Mint is the best I have found. That said,
it is the number of distributions that is keeping Linux from becoming
accepted as an operating system for everyone. Too many choices is
somewhat like too many cooks spoiling the stew. There needs to be a
single Linux system that everyone uses.
Once a single Linux system (distribution or distro) is chosen, serious
programmers will develop software for Linux. Until then, to much scatter
makes for a moving target for programmers hoping to make a dollar from
their endeavors. Hence, Linux will continue faltering and floundering.
Further, the odds of getting the Linux gang together on a single version
is very unlikely.
Currently, I have given up on using Linux as I have several specialized
Windows programs that are not available under Linux (forget about Wine).
So the old XP machine is used without connection to the outside world
(Internet) and used with HRD and digital on a couple of rigs I have
other than the K-Line.
