IE stands for Internet Explorer - Microsoft's Web browser.

I have transformed my slow (8 years old) Windows XP notebook into a
speedy Linux Mint one, at no costs, including Libre Office.

Extra bonus: No virus catchers needed for Linux.

Yeah I did that too and Linux was a huge downgrade. As all of the good
stuff runs under Windows.

Some distros are better than others. I prefer Net Runner. Those
criticisms, btw, are quite old and no longer true.

Linux Mint was a bit slow for me, so I installed Xubuntu on my brother's
old (+8 year) desktop. I copied his Fx and TB profiles. I didn't even
need to explain it to him how it all worked. :-)

Sure, but it is that way with all toy OS (Linux, Android, iOS, Windows
RT, Palm OS, etc) and applications. Sure they are fun to play with and
easy to use, but they are not built for real productive work. I only use
those OS for toying around and they not much good for anything else.
Although for some, that is all they ever need.

Sure, it is the OS that is crazier than a three-ring circus with 306
distros and counting. The Linux community doesn't believe in
standardization either. Because there wouldn't be 300+ distros if they
did. And it is very tough to write applications that would run on 300+
distros. So you end up with many lame basic applications like Firefox,
Thunderbird, LibreOffice, VLC, etc. Hell Android, iOS, Windows RT, Palm
OS, etc can do that stuff too. So I've never found one killer app for
Linux in all of these years.

He doesn't know what's what much less anything about computers or *any*
operating system. He's a braggart that gives very bad advice.

What work can't you do in Linux?
Obviously really haven't really used you Linux for work. Especially
lately.

Really? There are so many things that I can't do under Linux that I can
with Windows. There is an endless of things...

1) Palm support hasn't been updated for about 20 years now.

2) WMV and WMA media files plays terribly under Linux. Most of my files
are in these two formats.

3) Windows supports hundreds of media formats out of the box while Linux
supports only a small fraction.

4) No support for my AverMedia TV tuners.

5) No support for my Precision Xtra glucose meter.

6) Many games are not available in Linux format.

7) Logitech doesn't support Linux pairing with the Unifying Receiver.
Sure you can do it with hacks, although the hacks are unsupported
as well.

8) I haven't found one text editor or word processor that supports "text
with layout" or the WordStar diamond keyboard shortcuts yet.

9) My favorite browser is Maxthon v3. There is no Linux version, just
the Maxthon Cloud Browser for Linux and I am not interested in any cloud
based applications.

10) The Linux support for touch screens is often very tedious. While
under Windows it works right out of the box.

That is just 10, I can keep adding to this list all day for years.
