Wow, I just installed the latest #LinuxMint with #Xfce desktop on a 19 year-old #iMac with a beautiful 20" screen (4gb RAM, 1tb disk) and it's 😍

Absolutely usable for web surfing, emails, documents, like all normal office use. Blown away by just how good old hardware can perform if one uses the right software.

Big kudos to everyone contributing to @linuxmint ♥️

Hi #FOSS folks, me wants a pre-Windows 8 Start Menu on an Ubuntu distro. Would appreciate any app or distro recommendations.

I've been using Kubuntu but the "Start Menu" isn't that great.

@thejessiekirk Try #cinnamon or if you want something even lighter try #xfce
Both are easy installs on #ubuntu
