G'day My 2 cents worth, Deb10 with either Mate or xfce desktop. KDE/plasma is great, but I find it slow to load on i7 with 8G ram and add. It has more config options, but I've gotten over that. Oh, I don't boot often, but I've grown impatient.
As I said, my 2 cents worth. -- Keith BAINBRIDGE keith.bainbridge.3...@gmx.com Sent from my Aphone On 9 March 2021 10:30:15 pm UTC, Cmdte Alpha Tigre Z <santiagopi...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hello. > >I'm new to GNU/Linux systems.
