Like with MacOS in Linux you can create a new user, who will start with the default UI and settings, and is probably the easiest way to get back to something recognizable. There is a lot of information and tutorials available as guides. Linux Mint, offers a UI that is familiar to Windows users. It is often easiest to start with work/tools with which you are familiar. Word processors, text editors graphics programs tend to be familiar across platforms and starting with work you are familiar with can be an easier path in, plus once you have same familiarity with doing things on the OS the more comfortable you will be with it. Leave UI tweaks and system modification until after you have shown yourself you can get the work done that you want to get done.

I have two SSDs in my PowerMac G5 setup as a RAID. They have been in the system for about a decade and neither has had any problems. The PowerMac G5 supports sata 1.5 (which is an Apple only thing) and Intel SSDs are about the only SSDs that will work in the machine. My G4 Mac Mini is running OS 9 from an SSD using a SATA to IDE adaptor and it has been running well from that drive. I am sure that OS 9 does not support trim and neither does OS X 10.5. Maybe trim is just one of those new fangled tech things that create more problems than they solve. In any event SSDs can work fine in older systems.

Linux does have a learning curve compared to Mac and Windows, but the rewards of learning it are huge. Not only for your personal use, but it is an extremely good thing to have in your knowledge base and, if you work in anything tangentially related to IT, very useful on a resume. Different distros have different levels of "friendliness", and not all are created equal. Even different variations of a distro, like Ubuntu, may come with radically different gui's and desktops (such as Gnome, KDE, etc etc etc). Driver support can be a major pain as both ATI and Nvidia have had extremely mixed history as far as open source goes. But, anyway...you get what I'm saying.

ShinobiKenobi 256 MB Posts: 362 System 7 fan	Reply #14 on: August 27, 2025, 21:43 Thanks for the heads up. I've been getting wary of updates for a while now. I know companies ruin and break people's devices intentionally with updates, which should be considered a crime IMO. Damaging property... I've been afraid to apply updates for my Windows 10 system, which I use mostly for games. Until people realize their cells will continue to metabolize and they can still breathe (probably better) without a M$ operating system, they will continue to support this scourge of anti-consumer crap. Corporate greed will never be satisfied. And as long as people continue to support this crap by buying it, it will never end. Sadly, Windows or Mac are the only choices 90% of computer users know of. That's why I tell people about GNU/Linux.
