Did you hear that Microsoft even developed Linux OS called Azure?  It's a cloud base Linux system.  https://www.extremetech.com/computing/267741-microsoft-announces-a-linux-operating-system-for-the-first-time-ever


I tried to use LinuxMint 19 with Xfc on old Purple Dell Mini 1010. It ran fine but not snappy. It can't play Netflix,  Youtube is extremely laggy. It's all because of shXXy GMA500 chipset and Atom processor.  I reverted back to Windows XP and planned to sell it for $10.  It used to have Win 10 installed but it's slow going. 


Reason why not many people using Linuxes?  Because it's not a real "desktop".  Although you can use it as Desktop but it have its weakness on one security issue, anyone can hack into Linux by create new login and access file unless you chose to "encrypt during installiation" which means that Linux encrypts everything during installation so it's locked only to you, it'll become unhackable to anyone.


It be super nice if Microsoft or Apple go under and Linux can reign LOL>  Why I love Linux because I can run Live Linux OS of some kind that allows me to boot into desktop without Hdd, SSD or CDrom drive.  If any old PC which is 2005 or newer can be used as emergency system without drives except Pendrive (Linux flashed thumb drive).   This allows me to access website ect..
