Earlier I wrote that everyone has permission to like, and even consider superior whatever system [s]he likes.
I would just ask you to kindly:
- edit your post and add a dot '.' after number five. It looks jarring
- somewhere before or after point two add following:
-- activate the system through the Internet and humbly ask for permission to use your own computer with an OS that you have paid for with a good money.
-- spend couple of hours making backup of your restore partition (unless you have Lenovo, where you can't make a backup media to restore in case of HD failure) (If you have Toshiba notebook spend additional 15 minutes looking for bloody program to make backup, because it isn't available as a shortcut anywhere)
-- spend two days removing crapware that came installed on your notebook "out of the box" and is helpfully included in an image for restoring your notebook to the "factory default"
-- spend whole day updating the system
-- purchase an antivirus program that will eat up computer resources and inspect every single file before opening. Symantec Notron AntiCPU is a good choice. -- oh wait ... it already came installed with the crapware bundle, all you need is start paying (or spend whole day removing the bloody thing so you can purchase something saner and less anti-CPU)
-- install antimalware software
-- spend half a day on the net figuring out how to operate Internet Explorer in its default "metro" mode, how to switch to desktop, how to install proper start menu
-- spend another couple of days installing:
--- same file manager (such as Total Commander)
--- sane browser, media player, PDF reader, archiver, even decent text editor, mp3 playing software, decent media player, image viewer, ...
--- pay for office (it already came installed and will ask for ransom to access your own documents after the free period is over), system for making backup image (such as Acronis True Image), and other utilities that are included in any good distro by default
- add following after point 8:
-- keep paying for Antivirus
-- keep removing crap and malware that your broswer and OS *will* get infested with when used by:
1. your teenage kids
2. your pre-teenage kids
3. other hosuehold members that are less technically savvy than you
