Since support for Windows XP bit the
dust without a spinoff subdivision to develop the venerable OS for
desktop styles as if Microsoft could have two colors of Model T, the
realistic choice for p0eople with old computers is to install Ubuntu
version 12 because it's easy. Then one can install Linux Mint version
16 and have two operating systems to replace XP.
Ubuntu's Linux and Mint's Linux each
are open source operating systems and hence free though they will
accept donations. Mint is what XP could be if it upgraded a little.
It's simple, streamlined and with thousands of easy to install
software apps. There is a lot of free software included with Mint.
I suggest installing Ubuntu first
because it is easy to duel boot another Linux operating system
providing the opportunity to share the drive c memory it whatever
ratio you like. Mint perhaps should have 3/4ths of drive c.
It is something of a failure of
innovation for Microsoft to allow its popular XP to die as an
obsolete species and pursue just one OS development at a time. What
business model suggests one can't develop two products at the same time in different directions?
