Windows 11 Is Rejected!

Windows 11 has been firmly rejected by most large corporations worldwide! Some of these former customers are staying with Windows 10, and others are switching to Linux. But Windows 11’s market share peaked at 68% and has since steadily and rapidly declined! New record-setting numbers of downloads are occurring on a daily basis for the most popular Linux distros!

Linux Is Too Easy!

Funny thing, however, the calls that I thought I would be getting for Linux help have not yet materialized! Evidently, Linux is so easy to install that nobody needs my assistance! I’ve seen a few YouTube videos where the narrator said that Linux was “easier to install than Windows”! And I have to agree with that assessment!

Do I Need A New Focus?

Perhaps I should refocus my efforts on Linux training, security, and tech support? What do you think? Well, if you want me to install Linux for you, let me know! Or you can install it yourself and call me if you have questions. Whatever you choose, I know you’ll be much happier with Linux than with Windows! I’ve already converted about 90% of my computer consulting clients from Windows to Linux since 2014, and only 3 have gone back.

Two of those who returned were over 80 years old, didn’t like computers at all, and have since passed away. The 3rd one must log in to her office machine remotely while working at home, and her “tech support” guy from work only wants to support Windows. Her employer pays the tech support guy, so… she wants to keep the OS on her machine at the office.

Please Help Me Stay Busy!

What about all the people that I helped to switch to Linux? Well, they haven’t really needed me very much! They get everything done they need to! Their computers are “like new”, snappy, fast, reliable, very customizable, and fun to use!

Unfortunately, that leaves me with quite a bit of spare time! So, please call me up and put me back to work a little bit! And you can discover just how happy you can be with your Linux installation!

If you want training on using Linux, call me! I offer personalized one-on-one training at your home or business for only $20 per hour!

Think Windows 11 Is OK?

If you think I’m making this stuff up, take a look at other YouTube videos and find out how many people say Microsoft Windows 11 is a “failure”. Find out how many corporations are switching to Linux. There are a lot of them!

Windows Is NOT A Viable Option!

First, Windows 10 won’t be updated anymore after October 14, 2025! You can still use it, but there will be no more security fixes. Second, Windows 11 cannot be installed on most computers that are still in use in the USA today. Why? Because they are too old! Either they don’t have a TPM chip, don’t support UEFI, or both. Third, because Windows 12 is going to have CoPilot (Microsoft’s AI assistant) completely integrated with the entire operating system! This means CoPilot cannot be removed or turned off!

Unfortunately, CoPilot will automatically report any “misuse” of your computer to the proper authorities, based on the goals that Microsoft trains it to recognize. In short, if you still value having ANY privacy, then you should immediately abandon Windows, because Microsoft does NOT want you to enjoy ANY privacy!

For many years now, I have recommended Linux Mint Cinnamon as my favorite Linux distro. But since LMC delivered a very bad update quite recently, I’ve done quite a bit of testing of other distros and selected a new favorite distro to recommend to my clients. The new distro I’m recommending is called “Pop!_OS,” and it is made by System76.com.

I specialize in helping my computer consulting clients make a smooth, successful switch to Pop_OS! For only $80, I will come to your home or office, back up your existing user files, install Pop!_OS, restore your user files, and provide you with one hour of training on your new OS. Since a “house call” is $60, that means you are getting 3 hours of my work for only the remaining $20! And you won’t find a better deal anywhere in the whole USA than that!

By the way, I charge $300 to install fully licensed Windows 10 and 11, but I will never install version 12 of Windows on ANY computer! Why not? Because Windows 12 represents the evil principles that are invading our society, and I won’t support that in ANY WAY! See the advantage of using Linux?

My business slogan is “When You’re With Us, You’re Family!” We take that message very seriously! Don’t know how to do something in Linux? We’re a quick and free phone call away to help you “get it done!”

So, there’s no need to stress over losing your privacy! We’ll help you retain at least some of it! Sorry, we don’t have any Linux-ONLY privacy phones yet… but I’ll let you know if we find one that is practical, low-cost, and actually available!

There are a few so-called Linux-ONLY phones out there, but the prices range from $1,200 to $9,000, and they are unlikely to arrive for at least 3 months, if EVER! So, in my opinion, it’s not a great idea to buy one just yet.

Give us a call anytime…we are here to help you!

Forking WordPress

I’m interested in forking WordPress because I like PostGreSQL much better than MySQL or MariaDB. PostGreSQL has enough features that it can almost function as a CMS all by itself!

If you’re not familiar with WordPress, find out about it here: WordPress.org

So, I’m going to call this new project “pgCMS!” I’m not going to use any paid plugins. All of the plugins I develop will be completely free of charge and will remain so forever.

I’m looking for people to help me with this project. Don’t have any money to offer you, unfortunately. But this project is something I firmly believe is desperately needed.

I’m just getting started with learning PHP, which I’ve heard is the primary programming language used in WordPress. I’m not the best programmer, but I’m a self-taught Electronics Engineer since the age of ten, and a self-taught computer programmer since 1983.

I’m looking for some altruistic programmers, willing to work on this, not for money, but because they believe in this, and they want to work with a good friend.

I’m also not going to use GitHub or anything similar…just local copies of “git” and FTP. Everything will be licensed under the GPL Version 2, unless someone can demonstrate that this is not a legal option. And if necessary, I will use GPL Version 3.

I hope that we can come up with very creative ways to use PostGreSQL with PHP to provide much better performance than WordPress can provide.

So, if you are interested in this project, please send an email to Support@MobilePCClinic.Net.

Sincerely,

Arthur Baldwin
