I am a wannabe Bodhi user. I will post about my problems with that elsewhere on the Forum.
My first computer was an Amstrad 256 which I shared with my younger daughter as she did her A levels, so that gives an idea of my vintage.
My current primary computer is a refurbished Lenovo T400 running Libreboot and Trisquel (probably not my first choice of Linux distro, TBH, but it came on the machine and does the job, and Libreboot, paradoxically, complicates the process of installing something else.)
Between those two, 5 or 6 machines have had their day.
I am a fairly recent semi-convert to Linux. My ‘main machine of the day’ has run Linux (Zorin before this one) for about three years now, and in that period I have done a number of installs on other machines for specific uses, though I still use Windows for music applications, playing keyboards through digital sound sources being one of my principal leisure interests.
On Linux, I do use the Terminal to a limited extent, but am wary of command of more than 20 or 30 characters, or long sequences
of inputs ! I prefer to work through a GUI if possible.
To date, I have never made-my-own installer USB drive, though that may be a nettle I need to grasp……..
