[Elecraft] Has anyone tried UBUNTU (Linux

[Alan Bloom]

Yes I have been using Ubuntu for years. I used to have probllems with it
 Every once in awhile something would break after an update.  But since
I upgraded to version 16.04 LTS (Long Term Support version introduced in
2016) it has been stable. 

At first I just used it for email and surfing the Internet - all my
iimportant software was on a separate Windows computer.  As time goes by
there are more and ore applications available for Linux and now I even
run some sophisticated engineering software on that computer. 

The main problem I have had is that installing drivers can be a pain  I
bought a certain printer model specifically because they claimed they
had a driver for Linux  Turned out yes they had a driver but it didn't
work.  (I should have Googled it before I bought it to find that out.) 
I had to use the printer on a Windows machine instead.
