4??? All at once??? Must be good!!!
EDIT
I could have thought of something wittier to post, but it was nearly 3 AM.
Any distro (almost) can be used for any purpose. CentOS is useful for those who need Red Hat but can't afford it.
Oh David! I thought you knew. The Thanet District Council has been using your desktop for years. We were told you were contacted about this and agreed to it.
Sorry mate but at least Thanet is small so not much overhead for your 4 servers.
jdk
for are happy campers. But their needs were simple. They do not touch cli.
It does not break. I make a backup save after frugal setup for a restore point.
Low spec machines so they don't have to buy new.
USB automounts. Skype. Youtube. Java. No passwords. Pretty dumbed down for Alzheimer mind sets.
Win Win for everyone.
Edit: guess what? The main developer that invented that distro resides in Australia. Most the off shot developers that contribute reside in Australia also.
Distribution: Linux Mint 21.1 Vera / Zorin Pro 6.2

Couldn't agree more. I always come back to Linux Mint. Because of it's ease of use, the way it works and the Cinnamon desktop. But that's just me Might not be someone elses cup of tea
In response to sigint-ninja and cascade9; I should have stated that I want to improve my Linux skills and knowledge. I also want to work on my programming skills. Currently playing around with C but also want to start learning some new languages as well. I already have a Windows partition for games and mundane stuff. I don't think I'll be able to find drivers for my wi-fi for Linux as well, so I may have to keep surfing the net on Windows for time being.
