Hey man. I played around with a few Linux OS's a while ago and I remember liking Mint. I am about to get a new computer and want Linux on it because of things like what you mention above. You got any distro recommendations for someone that knows a bit about Linux but would appreciate it at least working right out of the box, so to speak?

Mint will work out of the box. It's based on Debian, just like Ubuntu, and if you already have some familiarity with it all the better. Privacy is just non-existent on Windows or Apple, IMHO. Every day I read something new about Edge or Apple's latest OS sending all your pics to the central office.

Never heard of Linux doing anything like that.

thanks for that. I'll put Mint on it then. I do recall it being a bit more simple than other distos I tried out. I dont' use my PC for a great deal and by changing to Linux I think I will have much more peace of mind because I did start to worry a great deal more once Windows became "free" because there is no such thing as free.
