Any Linux users? What's going on in that camp?

I'm actually still using an ancient notebook running XP, tempting fate. Every time I turn it on I get the "End of support" pop up nagging me. Nevertheless, the world hasn't ended & I'm able to do most of what I need to do. Although I have several bits of hardware that use touch screen technology, I'm not enthused about upgrading to a 'tablet' type of computer with no keyboard. I spent some serious time in high school way back when to learn typing. My buddy & I were the only two males in a classroom full of young ladies!

Use Chrome as browser now, but also still have IE installed since it downloads my finance data from the bank directly into Quicken. When I do the same with Chrome, the qfx file gets downloaded to my hard drive & I have to go through the process of importing it into Quicken. That's a royal pain compared to the IE download. When I log in to my TNG bank account with IE, it reminds me that I'm using an outdated browser & I should update for a 'better' experience with 'all' the features, whatever that means. It still allows me to download data, transfer money & do everything I need to do. So in my experience, new is not necessarily always better.
