Fedora 37 Linux – Cinnamon SPIN: ‘Leader of the Pack!’

Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon may be my favorite Linux OS, but I have no doubt that Fedora Linux is the ‘Leader of the Linux Pack‘. No one knows how many Linux OSes there are, but the “600” guesstimate is the most often used, even tho you’ll see new Linux OSes show up all the time. What ever the actual number is, Fedora leads them all when it comes to a Total Package of supporting cast, dependability, stability, cutting-edge kernel, ease of use, and great Package Managers.

Jitterbug® Smart3 Smartphone for Seniors: Time to “Bite the Bullet” and Toss the Flip Phone?

Once had an ASUS MeMO Pad 10″ Android tablet ‘n hated that ‘Thang. Have stayed away from “smartphones” because that Android tablet was such a pain to use ‘n move around in. The flip phones weren’t much better, i.e., even adding contacts were a pain…probably because I never figured out how to use that durn keypad. How to enter a space? How to use all caps? Needed to leave the phone’s guide open any time I needed to add something. For some reason, I had thought a “smartphone” would be even worse!?

Thinking about trying Linux? ‘Here Be Dragons’ – *ATTENTION* Windows users!

Probably should be posting this at my Linux Newbie – since 1996 blog, but am liking this new Self-Hosted Blog so much that ‘Newbie‘ may be headed for ‘semiretirement‘ as a Linux Google search & reblogger blog. 😉

Have worked hard, for almost four years, promoting Linux at the Linux Newbie – since 1996 blog, i.e., primarily promoting it to Windows users as a Special *PURPOSE* Linuxes, a ‘Portable‘ OS, and a great ‘Secondary‘ or ‘Companion‘ OS to Windows 11 & 10 users.

However, Linux is primarily a Global Enterprise focused OS, which was valued at “USD 5200.0 million in 2021,” and “desktop” Linux (@ 2.6%) barely beats newcomer ChromeOS (@ 2.4%) at Usage share of operating systems. How popular is Linux as a “desktop” OS? I’ve had Linux posts make it to Google’s Front Page wid less than 150 views. 🤔
