[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 180515, member: 201"] I'm not sure which distro I'd pick if I was looking for my own needs and uses. I do like what Mint looks like but there are others that are intriguing to me that I've played with. Personally at home I have one program which I heavily rely on that just doesn't work properly on any distro yet and there isn't a Linux substitute that I'm aware of... my radar program called GrLevel3. I can almost get it to work but not perfectly which affects the reliability of the radar info getting updates consistently. At work, sort of the same thing but with my accounting software Quickbooks... they have gotten older versions to work but none of the newer ones and I won't use the cloud version at all. I have an issue with programs that require a subscription not to mention that I don't want to rely on the internet being always available just to get to my point of sale, inventory and bank account info. I'd love to see GnuCash get some of those features that are missing in a full accounting system. Almost everything else I commonly need either has a Linux version or has an alternate solution that would work just fine as a substitute once I learned it. [/QUOTE]
