9. Out of desperate, try to restore an image of the whole computer and

I was careful to put on a separate drive.
10. Partitions are suddenly out of whack even though the RAID was for
two M.2 SSD drives totaling 240GB. Everything works but EaseUS is used
to correct the partitions and bring everything back to normal.

Windows 10? No wonder you had problems.

With Windows 8.1 and 10, my computer boots to the desktop in about 8
seconds and is completely ready for action after about 20. In Linux, one
whole minute and the icons in KDE still hadn't appeared. Not only that
but if my display turned off in Linux (kernel 4.4 btw), it froze the
computer. That is definitely not what I would consider to be quality.

Try installing Linux with
Windows 10 nowhere near the machine.

Linux is like a Chrysler car; if it is anywhere near something better,
it breaks down and leaves you stranded on the highway.

And when you do, install Linux Mint
Mate and then get back to us with your stereotypes, biases and
ignorance.

The typical answer of a Linux loser: you chose the wrong one of our
hundreds of distributions. #371 is the right one.

BTW, Windows 10 is more of a store than an operating system. Be prepared
to pay rent soon.

We'll see. If that happens, I'd still rather pay whatever Microsoft asks.


Another Windows loser that's lost his ability to think logically.

I'm not sure about that:

User tries Linux then user discovers that it's garbage so he returns to
Windows.

Nope, the logic is perfect.

After several serious attempts at using Linux, I can honestly say that
the word is synonymous with garbage.
