Every other forum has rules about these posts because there's such a glut of them, and yes, I could go read a stickied thread elsewhere, but here I am not doing that.

How would someone with no computer skills get acquainted with the OS? What version would you recommend to the hopeless novice? Can I keep windows on my PC and run the new OS or a practice version of it in a partitioned space while I learn? Can someone with minimal skills/time/patience be happy with a unix-like OS?

What's the general opinion on the BSDs? Are they just Unix-Like (like Linux), or are they really Unix?

Some call them "heritage Unix", because, although they no longer contain a single line of AT&T code (and haven't for over 40 years), they were ultimately derived from the original Unix.

This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, because I wonder, if you consider BSD to be "true Unix", what other "Unix-like" operating system besides Linux kernel-based systems there are. Or are "real" Unices also considered "unix-like"?

As an aside, what about macOS, if you use the command line a lot?

There might be a pattern to the hostnames 🤔

I was just wondering how people go about changing the sensitivity of the track-point. In settings there is only an option for touchpad and mouse settings, and the sensitivity of the trackpoint is modified by the mouse settings which is less than ideal. This is exasperated when I ideally want mouse acceleration on, but 'trackpoint' [mouse] acceleration off.

Any ideas on how to do this better?
