    Hi,

    We did try a bit more on the Pi3b+ but think its a lot cause for any serious use, just too slow and limiting. Could have gone down your route, but decided to keep things simple and stick to the Desktop for the time being.

    Have loaded up Linux Mint, said by many be to an easier one to start with vs Ubuntu.
    Running it on a USB 3 HDD so plenty of space for photos and music etc and still a decent speed.

    Still a lot to learn and get used to, though this current release and the programs available do seem much improved.

    Does feel a little ' naked ' only having the Firewall running without any AV or stand alone scanners like Malwarebytes.. do you use any AV product, though some say using such things can increase the chance of getting a virus ??
