I also use Linux Mint as my main desktop+development OS, and now so does my not-really-techy wife, after she had a go with Win10 on her new laptop, and asked me for Linux instead. She mostly likes the switch.
The Mrs. dabbled in a bit of programming recently; she enjoyed using CodeAcademy for learning. She was doing PHP, Javascript, and Java there. I think she said they have a Python course.
Hi Andy,
My Wife has been on Mint since about ver. 9, and she'll never switch back to Windows. In my little town I have about 20 Mint users, they are easier to support than Windows users.
Are you also a private pilot? I was looking over some of the introduction posts and thought that was the case.
Not sure if I can ever be much help with your OS, but I'll try, and of course testing is something I can take part in.

Yes, I earned a private license back in the day, but I haven't done much flying since I moved to the UK 16 years ago - just the odd one at a flight school, with an instructor. I'm not current. It's much more expensive here, and I've got more responsibilities nowadays
Do you fly? Ap0r does, seems like.

Yes, just testing and making suggestions is helpful. Suggesting new icons, background images, colour schemes even. I usually like to give the 'bigger' releases a bit of a new look, though usually not anything drastic.
Hi Andy,
Back in the early 90's I was taking the lessons, finished the 2nd cross-country solo, but (sadly) never continued from there. Got married, and work got super busy. Still love to fly, but it has been about 15 years since I was at the controls. I had an opportunity to fly a Piper Navajo when I chartered a flight for myself (for business) and a former instructor was my pilot. Once we were en route, I was given the chance to operate the plane. No take off or landing, etc. Nevertheless.... a memorable experience.
I've been following the VisOpSys progress for a while. Would love to have some hand in future progress. I'll keep in-touch, maybe try commenting on the forum, etc.
She mostly likes the switch.
