I want to use one of my old mini computers ....NUC quad core.... for a file server, security cameras and HD homerun which front ends my TV antenna. Given that windows 10 is 18 months away from ending I am thinking of turning to Linux for the OS. Actually, I think October 2025 will be the best opportunity Linux has ever had to capture a segment of the PC market both business and personal. End users and business aren't going to want to throw away perfectly good windows 10 computers. They may be willing to pay the $61 for one year of updates but after that it gets expensive and you end up at the same starting point. It is going to be a major issue come the end of Win 10
Linux Questions Can I use a NTFS format for any drives ... this would be easier to deal with if something went wrong and I had to access the drive from a windows PC? I have on occasion installed various versions of Linux in virtual machines and old PCs but I am a novice and I will struggle with it to learn how to manage it. What current distribution of Linux would you recommend for this ? Thanks <w>
