Like several in this thread, I have long since given up on Microsoft. I divorced myself from Windoz almost 17 years ago and I do not regret a minute of it. No more viruses....don't need an antivirus

I have heard some good things about Arch, too. But I'm happy with Tumbleweed and it's been extremely stable. And I totally get the advantages that those of us have with rolling release distros. I do

For those apps, I would use a windows emulator. I rid my home use of windows, decades ago. I still have to put up with it at work. Robert KG4KGL

P.S... AND there are PLENTY of ham radio programs available as part of the "packages available" in Manjaro, Archinux, Red Hat, and MANY other distributions that are not related to Debian and

Well, after using various version of Linux (or similar Unix? based OS's), I think you would be best served with Mint, at least as a place to start with Linux. Personally I have only run it

Robert is right...Manjaro and Archinux are examples where the ham radio stuff is kept as up to date as the software's author allows for. David sorry, I don't speak up here much, but today is an

I will look at those and test with my 7300.? Probably not until leter this evening.? I am having a full round of cardiac testing today; 10 AM to 4 PM. She isn't expecting anything unusual, by my

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) V5 (due for upgrade here VERY soon!) DOES automatically find and install "Flatpak" applications (such as KiCad and others) just fine, along with the usual Binary

I agree with Jason's list here though I think he missed one of the newer ones... (Docker) containers! Each of these systems have their pros/cons but I can whole heartedly agree that Snaps are annoying

These are people that are beyond needing a mentor. :D Robert KG4KGL

That is why I have Apple OS, with its BSD underpinning. As long as it is not Windows! Robert KG4KGL

Dave, Using the 7300: Well, now I can't duplicate the pause I was seeing before with .66. The new .67 seems to work normally with the dropdown panel opening or closing. The NB "on" label is still slow

If that is actually necessary then they are running the wrong distro(s). If it isn't necessary then they need a better mentor :) so they can stick to one distro and really understand it well. (Or

The same is true for Opensuse Tumbleweed, but unlike the need for using 3rd party web sites, officially sponsored package managers make all of these same applications available via the officially

This might be true of some rare distro(s), but not true for most major distros. Robert KG4KGL

I would argue that the path of least resistance to be able to run the newest and greatest would be anything Ubuntu based be it the real Ubuntu, or re-spins like Linux Mint, etc. I state this because

I use Manjaro (which is 'archinux for the rest of us'....) But then again, if u knew who I really am, it would be obvious what I am using.....hi hi es vy 73 om de "Baab" w9ya opinions as to which

Never mind I've figured it out and things are working as expected now. ?Thanks.

I read the link referenced above and have a MUCH better understanding of why I wish to stay away from those type packages.? Thanks again for all the help.
