Thumbs up New to forum and Linux, lots to learn


Have been sucked into some black holes (malware) on that widespread pane, so trying out Zorin, maybe Mint, too, in hopes safer. Have used internet 20+ years and the "sharks" in these waters are getting thick as thieves--oh, wait, they ARE thieves.

Have wanted to switch, but a bit lazy about the learning curve required.

Have questions to post on appropriate threads.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Yes, I would have to agree. One really has to stay on top of it, anymore.

Regards...
