it is a single person using things here. when i turn on the PC it boots directly into the MATE desktop and all the workspaces are ready to go (via lightdm auto login set up). with the SSD by the time i turn on the power and sit back down everything is ready to go. i definitely am enjoying my newer computer. fast, quiet (nearly fanless), low power and plenty of capacity when i do need it. the only real negatives of the newer monitor is that the scaling of fonts/menus/window sizes is set so small and not easily adjustable in the program itself that i have to change my monitor screen size in order to be able to read the menu items or see what is going on. not everything pays attention to system font settings. songbird
