David Hunt#ubuntu #mate 3.18 is now installed on the #thinkpad and working well, now that I've removed two troublesome applications from startup-- Ubuntu welcome and Dejadup Monitor. The maintainers have fixed lightdm; now, it talks when #orca #screenreader is toggled with 'alt+mod4+s'. I find the Software Boutique utility completely inaccessible. Using #apt is fine, but I wanted to check. For gui browsing of the collection, there's always synaptic, which does not come with the distro, but can be installed.
Have a blurb: Michael Tanner accidentally picks up the wrong MacBook in an airport security line. He doesn't notice the mix-up until he arrives home in Boston, when he discovers that the owner is a US senator and that the laptop contains top secret files. Tanner soon finds himself a hunted man. An exciting tale, so far, but this author has the habit of vilifying Bitcoin, duckduckgo, mumble, tor browser, and protonmail, by having criminals use them, and innocents completely ignorant of these kinds of security measures.
Here, I'm doing almost the full-fledged GNOME experience, not recommended with anything less than 4 GB RAM, and some kind of multi-core processor. Mate should suit you fine.
