Jun 9, 3pm General Meeting: "Linux Mint, Another Alternative", presenter Woody Ogden.  Don't have a computer that can support Windows 11?  Can't justify buying a new computer?  Perhaps another option is converting to the Linux Mint Operating System.  This is one of the more popular Linux variants in use, is free and comes with many free applications that support web browsing, email, an office suite that is mostly compatible with MS Office documents, and many other free utilities.  If you depend on an application that only runs in a MS Windows environment, there may be an alternative application for the Linux environment with similar capability. This will be an in-person meeting (with Zoom simulcast) in the BVCC Training Center in the lower level of Highlands Crossing Center, 1801 Forest Hills Blvd., Bella Vista, AR.  Links to Google Maps for the location of HCC and for directions inside HCC are located at the bottom of this web page.
