I have a 2yr. degree from Nashville Tech. I worked in HVAC for 26 yrs. or so and have always been interested in computers starting on Dos back in about 1990 and then windows in 1993. I tinkered with unix and then linux until 2012, I got ill by seeing the blue screen of death over and over for about a month which forced me to format my drive and load Red Hat Linux,days later a stable version of Mandrake Linux. I have been using Ubuntu and Linux Mint back and forth since 2012 and have not looked back. Goodbye forever Microsoft!!! I am currently running Ubuntu Studio on my main computer which is a Gateway NES56R10u Ubuntu always has these hard to find drivers and like the finicky Broadcom wifi and the various intel drivers. I have a lot to learn but I know one thing, It will be all Ubuntu that I use and learn! ©
