Please recommend a "Windows like" UNIX flavour

Andrew Mawson · 2014-02-03T13:29:23+00:00

Having been stung buying what turns out to be a fake version of Windows 7 Professional, I'm going to have a go at trying UNIX or one of it's flavours to see how I get on. I've done this a few years back and just couldn't get comfortable with it. So which flavour to choose that isn't too geeky and will do much the same as Mr Gate's offering ? Andrew

The first and most honest answer is familiarity, I suppose. The second honest answer is that, although I have been using TB for a fair time on a netbook, I have not really fully explored the potential.

Having spent a lot of years slowly learning exactly what TP will do, and how to do it, I suppose I am taking the ostrich view, and staying with TP for as long as I possibly can.

I did the same. I can't remember now what the last straw was.
