Used Linux since before there was a GUI, then used Debian quite a bit a number of years ago. Keep meaning to partition and setup a dual boot and give it another try to see what it is like these days.

I tried it too only in experimental mode on a PC I was decommissioning. I like messing with that stuff. The overriding conclusion I came away with is there is a good reason why over 91% of people buying desktop/laptop computers pay their hard earned money out for Windows whilst they could get Linux free. Unless you are a bit geeky Linux is a bit of nightmare.

Trying it now, initial response, it seems great.
The new Browser "Edge" seems to like Motorhomecraic, had to check that first

Scrub that for now, it is as crap as IE, logs you in, logs you out, logs you in, logs you out. I suggest using Chrome or Firefox for now which work perfectly with MHC.

You're right!

Been onto software developers about it, we are both hoping it is a cache template fault and not the same bug IE had. All seems good so far.

All seems good, after initial problems seemed to be sorted out by an update everything seems great!

Liking the new Edge browser (after update), still sticking with Google Chrome but finding myself using Edge more for work and Chrome for everything else.

Boot up is much faster, system is faster and no crashes or stalls to report.

So far so good

I'd nearly be tempted by windows phone on my next upgrade! I said nearly

You have an erotic mouse, oh sorry erratic

Update drivers I would say, but you may find it fixes itself when windows does all the updates over the next few days.
