Hello Folks,
I've been reading the list for a little while now, so thought I'd say hello.
I tried Ubuntu for a while but couldn't really get on with Unity. Now much happier with MATE on an old notebook.
I've also put MATE on a strange touchscreen pseudo-desktop Sony Vaio that I had a bit of a struggle with - turned out to be
the Nvidia driver. It runs fine now, but I've yet to work out how to control the screen brightness.
Far from an expert, but I've had fun with Raspbian on the Pis. The other distros I've tried are Kali and Elementary OS off USB
stick.
My aim is to move away from Win10 on the desktop, and not use Wine (which would seem to defeat the object) - the big fear is
the years of accumulated apps and data and actually taking the plunge. I guess dual-boot is the answer, although there may
be some risk of bricking my main machine.
Cheers,
Martin

One options that is lower risk / hassle than dual boot is to use a
virtual machine of some kind. I've not run windows in a VM but it seems
to me that the following should be at least theoretically do-able.
1. Add extra storage to the machine (or repartition if you're into that
sort of thing) and install Linux on it.
2. Start by running Linux in a VM, from Windows. This should give you
some migration time.
3. At some point, pivot and boot Linux as the main OS and run windows in
a VM so you can still use windows programs as an when you need to.
HTH and welcome!
Cheers,
- Martin

The sensor part is just a wire / copper pad connected to the chip that
does the sensing, so unless the wire is broken you are looking for your
fault in the chips on the PCB.
See this data sheet of a typical sensor chip.

Hi,
I am trying to set up a demo Wordpress site and have installed LAMP and
made a Wordpress local server but cannot connect to it.
I can run it via "localhost" and the lan address (192.168.0.17) on my
laptop, but from a smartphone on the lan it just states "not connecting".
What have I forgot to do!?
Regards

Check the apache logs, may have something useful.
Also check you're definitely on the LAN.
