As the title states, I'm in here for the long haul.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Are you wanting to switch from Windows 10, too?

Already have left Windows, full stop! Glad too and don't miss it ether!!

Welcome to LQ, BTW!

Greetings Majik.

Hi Majik and welcome to LQ!

Hi

I just joined LQ also but I have witched to Linux since 2007.
With Windows I could not stand for the constant battle against malware and other insecurities.
I felt like I had to be my own IT department.

Since the switch to Linux (Ubuntu) in 2007, I have been amazed by the power, security and flexibility.
I feel much more in the drivers seat with Linux and spending my time more productively.
Also, since then I have not had to spend much money for amazing software.
The great majority of the software is all open source, high quality and free.

I'm here to learn more and see if I can contribute.

Majik, I think you will be amazed with Linux, enjoy!

Welcome to the forum

You're welcome

Been a long time lurker here, and thought I'd go ahead and post myself! I *do* keep a Windoze box around for gaming (hangs head in shame), but the main computer in the PC room runs Kubuntu. I've used linux off-and-on for a few years. I'd love to get a job in linux frankly, I can't believe it's not taken off better in the desktop market. It has almost all the server market from what I understand

Welcome

I have one question, whether it is possible to edit degree of transparency of start-up as in Win7? If yes, which parameter is responsible for this?

Hi Pall Parker and welcome to LQ.

Please start a new thread in a technical forum with your question. Suggest you use the Newbie forum. Also, please include as much information as you can provide, such as the Linux distribution you are working with, any screen shots or examples of what you're looking to try and do, or other relevant information so that others may be able to assist you properly.
