  1.  @foobarturkey  Linux is better than it used to be, and going by what I've seen since I last tried to use it, if it handles something At All usually handles it well. Still, last time I tried to use it I found myself in the weird situation where any given version supported Either my laptop's screen Or it's touch pad correctly, not both. Ended up installing Windows 8 (because I still had a CD for that) instead, which works just fine (it has plenty of its own problems, but none of the ones that actually affect me are deal breakers.) ... Of course, the reason I wanted Linux was because the thing Came with windows 10, which was Awful. (Also, this whole OS business is what caused me to give up on the shop I got the laptop from. When you pay someone who supposedly knows what they're doing to set up your computer Properly so it actually works right, you kind of expect to, at the other end, get a computer that's set up properly and actually works right, and if that's not actually possible you can reasonably expect that they'll actually tell you as much at Some Point! ... This is not what happened.)
