Recently I have installed Ubuntu Linux on five or six home computers. I have been using Ubuntu at home for some time and think that it is now superior to Windows for seniors. Now I know, as a woman some fifteen years younger than me had the temerity to say, "Old people don't like to learn anything new." In this case, it's worth the trouble.
Linux is not troubled by viruses, worms, adware, spyware, or trojans. Linux does not run slower and slower every year you use it. Linux does not need complicated maintenance routines. And, finally, Linux and all the programs that run on it are free. Linux is open source software, a movement that, after decades of slow growth, is finally moving into the mainstream of personal computing.
For a while, I will try to write about starting with Linux. The stories will be short, as I have a short attention span.
