It's crazy what we get used too and how resistant to change we can be.

A couple of years ago now my main PC that was running windows 7, that I had for 10 years plus gave up the ghost. I decided that I wasn't giving Microsoft another dime (yes I know about the so called windows 10 free upgrade) and went completely open source. I switched to Linux Mint and haven't looked back. . Yes there has been a learning curve but it has been so worth it. My resistance to change prevented me from not doing this years ago. Plus from what I have researched Linux has been converting Windows users with versions like Mint that make the switch much easier. Mint is not however without it's limitations.

One hurtle I encountered was an android emulator I used to run on windows 7 called bluestacks. There is no Linux version of this program. The only reason I was running this program was so that I could run FaceApp on Windows. I have FaceApp on my phone but the screen is too small for my liking and trying to get a good feel for what is happening proved to be unsatisfactory.

After a couple of years of not being able to run FaceApp to my satisfaction, and after a bunch more research it hit me. They have these things called tablets that have a much larger screen then a phone and run the Android operating system . Eureka!!

Amazon.ca to the rescue! After figuring out how to setup bluetooth on my Linux machine, I can now transfer pics back and fourth from PC to tablet and edit with FaceApp to my hearts content. You can still teach an old dog new tricks.It just takes a lot longer.
