I joined this group as I wanted to try an alternative to Windows, I'm not a techy; I use my computer as a tool and wanted to run on a different operating system, and not particularly interested in how it works under the hood.<div>

I am not sure if the "end goal" is to compete with Windows...<br>
<br>
...is it?<br>
<br>
I think of it like a town with 5 pubs and a Wetherspoons... should the<br>
punters at the pubs decide it is better to go with Wetherspoons, with<br>
the cheap beer prices, or should they stick with their "local"?<br>
<br>
I suspect most would stick with their local.<br>
