Dan,

The reason is I have some hobbyists' rocketry apps there aren't any
Linux alternatives for. Been using Slack since '94 when I dual
booted. I don't game
and don't do garbage like getting MS$ Office or IE running under
emulation..... That's been stupid to do for years with native
alternatives that are available.
Unfortunately, there are some specialist's apps that one has no
choice. Either run MS, run under emulation or don't run it. I chose
emulation but unfortunately
am stuck keeping an XP drive around for a laptop for the rare app I'm
stuck running there.
I've tried a variety of Linux versions over the years and I always
come back to Slack. Actually, I stick something on an extra machine
and didn't touch my main
ones. I really wasn't going "back to Slack" as I never left it.:-) I
hated the loss of control. Ubuntu is another name for doing a dance
to get a new non-Ubuntu app
installed by Sudo-ing around!
I am surprised as to the success I had compiling code over the
years just following the scripts and really not knowing exactly what
was going on.
People need to stop being elitist over a distro and stop flaming those
with rudimentary questions. Give one a bit of direction and win over
a new devotee to
the distro. Kurt

From what I can guess the last post comes from a LAN in a private hospital
or kinda chem lab where the poster is maybe not the final chooser in
what should be how and when should be how...

No idea about that but someone clearly had a relaxing beer and
you may like to have one too, now ;-)
