Thank you for the reassurance, @Condobloke! I've just been afraid of messing up a computer - silly, I know. I've worked with a few Aussies, all of them great folks! I thoroughly enjoyed them - and I have a healthy respect for the technical expertise of the fellows I worked with. Thank you so much for the kind and welcoming words!
Hi! My Forum Newbie Post
- Thread starter Scribe1
- Start date
The Nom de Plume is Robert Scribe. I wrote a series of eight novels in a series called the "Merchant's Mine" series, and I've begun a second series named for its main character, a fellow named Reuben Temple. The 8-book series is very G-rated fiction, and the new series is PG going toward R, for content (sax and violins). My favorites are "Bloodline" of the first series, and "Targets" of the second series.

I do hope you like it! Thank you so much!
I love that description.
G'day @Scribe1 and welcome, from DownUnder, and we don't all chunder.
I approved those couple of posts, you should be right, soon.
Cheers and enjoy your Linux, and our community.

Thank you so very much! You folks are the greatest!
We're the most civil and welcoming general-knowledge Linux forum on the 'net.
I mean, I can't quantify that without a ton of work, but my observations support that claim. I've not gone through and counted the various data points, which would be difficult to say the least, but I strongly believe this to be true based on what I have seen over the years.
And, well, I'm actually relatively 'new' to the forum. There are others who have been here much longer than I have.
They, having more exposure, will likely agree with my conclusions. We're pretty friendly. Sometimes, we're pretty helpful!
Good morning [well it is here] good to see you found your way here so once again Welcome,
the blue bar on your avatar denotes that you are the initiator of this thread [OP or original poster] if you want to see the public information on a member on any thread, just hover the cursor over their avatar.
Sir, I've been doing tech support since I was 18 years old. Rotary dial phones were still common then. You have as good a grasp of Linux as I do. I'm still Tier One compared to most folks here, but being willing to read, research on your own, and formulate reasonably well considered questions is all you need (apologies to R. Lee Ermey). Your answer to why OpenSUSE made my day--you tried it and it works best for a particular need. Well there ya go.
My mother was born in San Antonio, and I still have a lot of family just west of San Marcos. Things that just work, indeed.
No worries at all, I was "chored down" all day yesterday with honeydo items. Didn't get my little old man afternoon nap and went lights out early.@Smilax I wrote a reply, it's awaiting moderator approval, I'm not ignoring you.

welcome to the forums!
Thank you!
Thank you for the encouragement, @Smilax! I figure that if I apply myself to the course(s), I'll know more than I used to :LOL: I used to do dialup too: atdt,....
OpenSuse install is going great - on my new used Thinkpad. I upgraded the hard drive using my junk bin, then set the BIOS to boot from USB, and off we go. Life is good! These days, installing Linux is easier than ever, for which we users can be quite grateful indeed.
Hey, I've gt one of those!
edit: yep, a T460s. I can't remember what (if anything) was wrong with it, just plugged it into the charger. It was my last work laptop and I got to keep it after retirement. I do recall it has a screen defect but nothing preventing its use. Also maybe something draining the battery...I'll get a screenshot of it here in a bit.
