I just got off the phone with a customer who is going to have me switch his computer from Windows to Linux. Also got a payment today for a Linux laptop that I'll be shipping to another state. There is a lot of movement away from Windows. I hope the trend continues. #Linux #Windows View quoted note →

This is a customer's computer. He's been quite happy with a refurbished Dell Vostro 230 desktop for years with Ubuntu Mate. He only got it to me because there was a power outage while he was applying updates and he wasn't sure how to fix the broken package state. I fixed that, then upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, as the Firefox snap was broken. The upgrade to 24.04 fixed that. Works fine now. Intel Core 2 Duo still kicking and in active use. #Linux #Ubuntu #MATE
