Linux Zorin OS 17 on my wifey's dell inspiron 11 3169. It's awesome!

I have been meaning to try this for ages now. I have linux zorin on her little low powered dell. Needless to say it runs WAY faster than 11 did. Windows 11 on this machine was ok, but nothing to write home about.  This OS is so light that it is just instant for doing normal every day tasks. I was expecting a little increase in performance but this works so well on this little system that it's probably going to be my sofa system moving forward.  I just need to log into all the websites I use regularly so I can continue using them as I would on windows.

 

I know one thing, my iPad is now religated to controlling my guitar amp and thats it.  Unless there is android app emulation on linux, which would be AWESOME.

Been using the system all evening watching youtube and surfing the net. It works great. I am digging this distro for sure.

So I have been using this little notebook for a while and found a program called waydroid. I will be installing this on the notebook and I can download any app from the play store on my system to use as I would on an android tablet. This is my new travel tablet.  No need for my iPad. I think I can get the software to control my amps on this as well.

I like ZorinOS best in Linux distro's. (I've tried a few)

Not for my daily driver, Linux is still not user friendly enough for me. Things like undervolting, tweaking the gui, I think I'm just too set on the windows way 

I'm know it can be done but going backward to command line, I just don't have the patience to relearn that. FFF we have OS's you can use voice commands.

But on my little panasonic lets note, basic mail, web, some games and apps its good.

I am enjoying it. Once I get waydroid on it this week, I should be good. there are a few apps I want to use for my music gear and hopefully they will work.
