Computers are very powerful now, but for some users, they sure don’t seem that way.
“Why is my computer so slow?” is a question many people struggle with while they are trying to get their work done, watch movies or play games. It’s frustrating, because sometimes things are far more complicated than they need to be.
The good news is your computer isn’t any less powerful now than it was when you first bought it. Solid-state electronics don’t wear out the same way the automatic transmission on a used car does. The problem is usually that your computer is being distracted by things that probably aren’t all that important to you. That leaves less power for those documents, movies and games.
It might be time for you to consider an alternative to your current computer software. Software tells your computer how to organize and deliver information to you, the user. This web site is all about one of the more popular alternatives: a collection of software and an operating system called Linux.
You may have heard of Linux but you’re not completely sure what it is or how it works. You may have heard terms like “free software” and “open source” before. You may have even tried Linux once or twice but were never quite able to make it your primary choice. You might have run into a problem you couldn’t quite figure out, or tried to get help with a question and were unable to. Wherever you’re starting from is just fine. There’s no rush.
Linux exists because a very large number of computer users want an alternative. They want the ability to choose what kind of software they use and they want the freedom to change their mind if their current system doesn’t quite work the way they want. That’s a fair approach. It’s your computer. You should be able to control how it works if you want.
More good news! You have the same choice. If you’re willing to consider using some of the new alternatives to your current software, this site may be quite useful to you. Linux has now been around for 20 years, and it is has experienced a tremendous increase in power and capability in that time.
We’re going to explore all that Linux has to offer, and we’re going to present that information to you in simple, easy terms that you can understand and make use of.
Our goal? Simple. We’re going to free your computer, and hopefully speed things up a bit in the process. Read on!
