Windows 7 is the "last straw" for a friend who has used every
version since Windows 3.1.
Evidently Windows 7 would not allow him to do something he could
in previous versions (There was a side comment that having actual
DOS would be nice.) My proposed comment is that all common Linux
distros allow opening a command line window. Am I correct?
In the past I've suggested Ubuntu and/or Debian (Gnome3 and Unity
being nonstarters as DE).
He is partial to largish systems with many apps, I like light weight.
While chasing answers to various questions I've become confused:
What is essential difference between
-- Linuxmint Cinnamon
and
Linuxmint Mate
-- Kubuntu
and
Debian with KDE desktop
(My impression is mechanics of accessing repositories)
TIA
