Would do if possible, John; have been using different distros in VMs for a decade or more, and tried different versions since some 20+ years. But one of the banks I use (and just about everything else) need an electronic ID (plus some 2FA, other banks use separate devices as 2FA an thus no e-ID), and those behind the electronic ID stopped the development of Linux versions in 2014.jonwallace wrote:Unless you desperately need software that only runs under Windows, then pick a Linux distro and run that.

There's always LibreOffice unless it's actually VBA for linux you need, then of course you need Windows and Microsoft Office.PJ_in_FL wrote: When there's Excel for Linux, then...

I don't TRUST Microsoft at all anymore. I'll keep the Stretch option off the table ( disabled ) for now.HansV wrote:The patch has been released: Wallpaper set to Stretch is displayed as black in Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1

I've been wondering about Linux, but I know almost nothing about it. Is it true that it's more secure? I don't want to give up Excel and Word, and hope to get back into Access as well. But are you saying there's a way to run them on Linux? And if I had to go to other, Linux-friendly versions, would VBA be out the window?jonwallace wrote:Unless you desperately need software that only runs under Windows, then pick a Linux distro and run that.

Thanks, Doctor. I'll check the guy out. I'll see if he has anything written online first. My mental processing is such that I never watch something if there's the option to read it instead. But one way or the other, I'll check him out.Doc.AElstein wrote:... I would recommend that you spend some time watching the YouTube videos from this guy.

Check out in particular both his Windows 10 and Linux stuff. You might need a month or more . But might be worth it
I also prefer written notes , which I make myself, ( I share my notes ….. My Windows 10 stuff starts from here http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthrea ... #post12118" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .. They are a bit jumbled up at the moment. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend reading them. I try to avoid it myself.Nick Vittum wrote:..... My mental processing is such that I never watch something if there's the option to read it instead.
interesting. My Win 10 experience has been very straightforward:Doc.AElstein wrote:...Windows 10 appears to be a beast that is difficult to tame...
