Greetings and Salutations to all !
Some background, I've been in electronics and computers longer than I sometimes care to think about. Let's just say I learned to program with punch cards and was thrilled when we were able to load with a cassette tape. Been through DOS to 6.22 and windows 3.11 to win10.
I do installation, configuration, networking, integration, and maintenance for radio systems. If my laptop is not working, I might as well stay at home. A "daily driver" and a spare go with me now.
I'm at an intermeditate (?) level for Cisco, 3Com, and HP cli. Did a RHEL install several years ago on an enterprise level. Oddly enough, the issue that drove me batty was fixing the dhcp lease time. Go figure.
Reading through the forums, it appears that I'm not the only one completely fed up with Windows 10. Constantly trying to stop Microsoft from updating my drivers with wrong and/or outdated drivers, Group Policy edits to shut up Cortana, uninstalling unwanted apps, Power Shell to remove apps that won't uninstall, and Registry edits to block future silent installs. Then on the next big update, Microsoft changes things around again and time to start all over. That's providing the update doesn't produce another BSOD. I may be wrong here but it looks like Microsoft is adopting the Apple model. " Our way or no way".
'nuff said. TIme quit talking about it and just make the leap. I've thought it for quite awhile now. Got a plan and after reading through these forums, the plan has been adjusted accordingly. I'll stop here with the introduction (~rant ?) and post my plans in the appropriate forum. I'm hoping for advice, thoughts, as well as opinions.
Looking forward to the adventure..............
