Recently I have treated myself to a new toy. It did however come with a version of “Fenster 8“. So I had a bit of a tinker around with it and found it to be an attempt by “Dopeysoft” to self sabotage their business. So I formatted the drive and installed Linux. This is of course a massive learning curve now. There are a few things I can’t work out.
1: Trying to enable the firewall and the online instructions state that this has to be done in a terminal. Where will I find this terminal?
2: A lot of online videos require a flash player which does not appear to be compatible with Linux. Another option is to play the video in something called HTML5 which also appears not to work. Is there a Linux equivalent that would do the job?
3: There seems to be very little interest within the Linux community in the use of anti-bacterial software. Do I need to worry about not having any?
On a more positive note. It boots up in the blink of an eye and shuts down just as quick. Does not endlessly try and update itself. Does not have an app fetish which is out of control. Image quality also appears to be superior. So all in all it’s a thing of beauty!:sifone:
