This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Every couple of years I give Linux a go. Never got it working yet. But even a rank amateur can instal Windows. Perhaps one day Linux will be as easy, but I’ve been saying that for two decades.

Actually, linux is pretty easy, much easier than it was when I started with it, but it is different.
Me, I started with Slackware v. 10, and found it so easy that I installed it three times that first day . . . . (The install went fine, but Frank made some mistakes.) When I started using it, I had no issues with the command line, but I’m an old DOSsy, and DOS was command line. It’s easier to avoid the command line now, but, frankly, the command line is always faster, if you know the commands (that was true under DOS also). I’m curious as to what distros you have tried; feel free to email me at bellfrankw@gmail.com. (I don’t have an email link on the site because of background stuff.)
I will suggest this link to you, from my favorite Linux forum: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/linux-newbies-how-to-choose-a-distro-4175623119/
If you have any questions, you can find me there almost any evening.
