G'day @SugarBear and welcome to linux.org
As you learn to navigate and become familiar with the site, you'll find that if you mouse over a person's avatar, you can see when they were last active, and combine that with when they posted, for an idea of how active they are.
The OP (original poster) @Platypus100 has not been active since the initial dialogue - March 22 my time, may differ for you.
Posters since have basically been talking to themselves/among themselves
That being said, the information you have provided is valuable, and not wasted, as it may help others make a choice. That's a Win. Thanks for sharing.
Do consider swinging over to Member Introductions and meeting a few of The Gang, and tell us a little of the SugarBear story.
Cheers
Enjoy your Linux and

Thanks for the welcome. I have been playing around with Linux and it's many "flavors" for about 2 years. I have some experience with using them, but I am still learning as well. I actually found Platypus's post while searching for a way to repair my own crashed version of Xtra-pc. I saw that the last post was in May, but I was hoping he hadn't given up yet and was still checking the thread.
I will go over to the new members area and tell the sugarbear story. It is a royal comedy and tragedy for sure.
Hoping you and your family are safe.
Peace,
SugarBear
