BYE, BYE WINDOWS. HELLO LINUX - Installing PCLinuxOS XFCE desktop in 2020

As part of the "Bye, Bye Windows, Hello Linux" series you are given the opportunity to see other Linux Distributions (Distros) so you can decide which is best for you. In this video you'll get to see the installation of PCLinuxOS Xfce Desktop.

All the Linux installations make the assumption that you're using an older computer. If you have a shiny, new computer Linux will work superbly!

The default settings used are:

1 Core Processor 4GB RAM Memory 128MB Video Memory 36GB Minimum Hard Disk Space

It is very likely that your computer will have considerably more Hard Disk Space. Probably in the region of 128GB - 512GB, which is good.

NOTES:

I tend to make the videos "on the fly", there's no script and everything is done from memory with just a few notes to jog the "old, grey cells". I do apologise for the umms, ahhs, erms, and pregnant pauses in the video - men tend not to be quite as good at multi-tasking :D .

I will, when possible, copy and paste commands to make the videos a little quicker and so as to not waste your time. I can type or talk but cannot do both well simultaneously!
