That computer soon after than got pissed at by my cats and went dead.

I installed Linux mint again on a newer Dell computer (with SSD), and 
from a month back have been using nothing but that one. Did various 
different stuff on it. I should say, now, I like it better than Windows 
10. There's a good chance I'll never go back to Windows again.

I'm glad I didn't start with Gentoo. If I had gone that route, by now I 
had either quit Linux altogether, or gone nuts about it like Farley.

The level at which I use my computers doesn't ... how should I say it, 
is not in harmony with that much detail work and expertise in an OS to 
gain more control over how I want to use my computer.

So like Joel, I prefer, certainly for now, to use Mint and get it over 
with.

Ahah! The word is "justify" :-) My use of computers doesn't justify the 
effort required in learning Gentoo.
