My XP 'puter has real limited choices with the Linux version I'm running off a dvd, try higher resolutions and it stretches, too.

Hopefully will be running 4K resolution before the end of the year, which will require updating my video card; hope someone has figured out a driver for that by then. Great hardware these days, software, not so much.

I run Ubuntu 16.04 on my personal laptop. It works well and there is a lot of free software out there for Linux these days. And if you cannot run it natively on Linux you can run it with Wine that allows you to run Windows programs, though it is somewhat limited when it comes to hardware interfacing

So I walked into the bar and went right over to the biggest Mfer there to punch him right in the face. He went out cold. I then proceeded to bend his girlfriend over the bar and took the skin buss to tuna town!

Allow me to translate for Lou:

I crashed his operating system then proceeded to RAM my hard drive into her expansion port!
