It must be incredibly useful for blind people, but for everyone else it’s a pure wank.

Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.

I’ve also just moved to Linux (my first computer ran on MS-DOS) and it was easy peasy. Moving my data over was taking a while, so I stepped out to brings the bins in. Slipped on ice and am now in hospital, recovering from surgery to a wrecked knee. Looks like I’ll have plenty of time to move the data when I get home.

I’m about to pull the plug on Windows because MS says I need to replace my PC to install Win 11. Nothing wrong with my PC at all, it runs fine. So I’ve flashed a usb stick, checked the Linux distro will run ok, backed up my data and am ready to go. Just have to get a day free of distraction…

I got my first PC in 1983 I think it was. Second-hand, running MS-DOS. I’ve done a lot of computing since then, at work as well as home, almost always Windows. I’ve had Linux on an ancient laptop for a few years, various distros. I like to tinker, so that aspect of Linux doesn’t put me off at all.
