Guess What OS I'm Using

Because I am not an OS warrior, I've noticed that past a certain date, a computer is a computer with some small differences in where the buttons are hidden.

I posted this from Ubuntu 18.04 off a thumb drive from the same machine I had Win 7 installed on.


Update: because there's no Thunderbird 78 for this distro I can't move my email profile to the new OS.

    Maybe update from Thunderbird? Not sure how that would work on a live session though.
    Linux is the bomb for old hardware.

    That's kind of weird. I've done dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, then straight Linux on other boxes. Thunderbird was always there. Maybe contact Thunderbird? Tell 'em what you're setup is and ask which one to use. Maybe they're still stuck in the 68.x versions.

    Linux user since slackware beta in 1995. Home PCs have been linux every year since with the only windows PCs are work related. Linux can do anything that windows PCs can. And using one off a thumb drive means secure boots every time.
