What are you using at the moment?

May I recommend that you try Mint Linux (Debian branch) on that old Lenovo laptop, I was surprised how well it runs on an old Acer of mine, and thus far it's been a lot better and more stable than Ubuntu Mint or any other flavour of Ubuntu.

I have a big old iMac sitting in it's box, sadly unloved and unused because the graphics card expired (seems to be a running thing with me, my main gaming PC graphics card went splat too). Hmm, someone somewhere probably knows how to get around this problem with the iMac assuming there's onboard Intel graphics available as well, I shall have to investigate!

I used Mint on my desktop back at my old address, but since I started writing books and sending work in to magazine editors, I have found that online publishers mostly want manuscripts using Word and and Mac docs

i use a reconditioned computer that I specified myself, so much cheaper, but it has 32Gb ram, and 4Tb memory with flash memory also built in for speed. Runs on Windows 11 pro. 26" monitor, with HP duplex printer which is so useful for printing two sides of packing slips. Laptop is Lenova also high spec windows 11 pro.
I can use linux, but prefer to avoid the hassle for the sake of the range of windows apps that do the job more intuitively. Have used other people's Mac, mostly with Pagemaker, or graphics apps, but the cost is so ridiculous I stick with Windows when I am buying.
