Worth giving linux mint a spin then

You can clone* your current machines W7* and run it as a virtual
machine if you want to keep an archive, just don't go online with it
(although I do with my old XP as I keep an old email client which I
use to backup my gmail account)

I'm a user rather than a geek!


Thats why he said Linux Mint

Whilst Mint is ok for most people to use OOTB, it's still Linux under
the DE and therefore little better than the best user Lini re fixing
things if / when they go wrong or doing things that are often Windows
Centric in the first place.

Like, if a man in a shed hasn't made something easier by writing a GUI
interface for some Linux CLI stuff, for most users it's all just
gobbledygook.
