<p>Moved my wife over to xubuntu on a touchscreen Lenovo about 7
years ago. She uses FF or Chrome and Thunderbird for email. 1
million times more reliable than stinking MS Windows. My daughter
loves her 3 year old MacBook Pro. <br>
</p>
<p>xubuntu runs my 12 year old ASUS duo-core notebook. No problem
doing videos with KDEnlive or photo editing with the Gimp. Write
stories with LibreOffice then move them to WordPress for posting.
Browsing mostly with FF, sometimes Chrome. Text with vi and
Bluefish. Thunderbird for email. <br>
</p>
<p>Raspbian works great on all my Raspberry Pi microcontrollers.
Desktop apps are the same as the ASUS notebook. Occasionally use
Debian on a BeagleBone or Chinese Raspberry Pi clone. Webcam
programs for viewing the JeVois smart machine vision sensor are
the only frustration. luvcview, guvcview and webcamoid are a
little touchy.<br>
</p>
<p>I've given all my conference presentations on a Raspberry Pi or
clone, running Raspbian and LibreOffice for the last 6 years. The
little devices are rock solid with Raspbian Linux.</p>
<p>Standardizing on "Linux" works great for me. Of course, I'm
always out in the wilderness forging my own path seemingly on
everything, so am accustomed to tons of DIY and being flexible, to
reach my goals.</p>
<p>Used command-line Unix at Purdue back in 1981. They had just
phased out punch cards. :)<br>
