I remember back when it used to be full of experts or professionals talking educated sense about things. Then I noticed the general standard dropping down to about my level of intelligence/knowledge - which is not great - and then sinking ever lower to the point it’s barely worth reading anymore.

They are confusing, but I can at least find them eventually. I can’t remember exactly what it was that the problem was with my last Linux install… I think my secondary monitor was stuck at 640x480 resolution or something, and I couldn’t find a way to fix it that didn’t involve the command line

I’ll start using Mint… heck, any version of Linux… as soon as they introduce a proper UI for a plethora of system settings. If I ever have to use a command line for anything but THE most esoteric, potentially system-damaging scenarios, the O/s has failed in my book. (Windows user since 3.1, never lasted more than a day with Linux)
