Hi Guy's, new member , retired Aircraft Mech, who like's building computers, repairing phones ands tablets,  mainly using Aliexpress as my source , Yes their is a lot of crap,  then you get something that works. (just remember I am working  off a state pension)  and this industry is expensive . but it's fun and challenging.  like downloading the latest Zorin OS  tried twice, last time if failed and google acknowledged it had fail ! and said it's a non supported OS,  hello firefox let see if that works !.

    My wife likes to use the phrase "Primenesia" with me.  We have Amazon Prime and I usually say something (stupid) like "What did I buy now?" out loud before I realize it. Laughing

    Welcome to the element14 community! There are a lot of great projects and ideas within tons of posts here.  Look around, find interesting things, ask question and share your ideas.

    It has been challenging times with many operating systems running out of support (like my own Windows 7/Microsoft Edge).  I find that browsing is a gamble on if your browser is able to access the sites that you want to visit.  I frequently need to fire up my laptop (Windows 11/Microsoft Edge) to be able to view some sights.

    Hi, welcome to the community!

    If you are facing difficulty in downloading, try using FossTorrent to download Zorin OS. You don't have to download the file from beginning of you use a torrent client.

    Only issue is when a mystery parcel arrives a few weeks later and you've forgot what it was and why you ordered it

    Welcome ROB074 and there is no shame in using Aliexpress.  I've done that as well.
