Many of the comments here come from people who either post by hear say or whose LINUX experience dates years...LINUX today is not what it was when I started using it, years ago and I can assure you that today LINUX is much more simple to use than any Windows product! First of all as far as you are concerned, there isn't such a thing as LINUX, because there many different LINUX distributions, called "DISTROS" in the LINUX world. As I understand your requirements, I would recommend LINUX MINT ,a very friendly user distro that has everything you need working out of the box without any need to go to the terminal or use of any editor. go to https://linuxmint.com/ read the installation instructions (I recommend the "cinnamon" flavour) download the file and follow the instructions. You may need help to create a "bootable media" and set your computer BIOS to boot on it but this is a straight forward operation that is much simpler than installing Windows anyway ... 99% of what you do with Windows will be done better and faster with LINUX MINT. I have been a happy user for 15 years and I only use Windows occasionally to update my GARMIN Golf Watch because GARMIN does not provide a LINUX version f their software...

One cannot enter Thailand as home address...Some people like me live permanently here on marriage or retirement visa, no address nor tel number abroad!

Again, this seems to have been hastily done as it omitts the fact that like me, some farangs entering Thailand are here all the time and have no adress nor Tel number in their own county! As the system excludes Thai citizens, it it impossible to enter Thailand as your country, adress,Tel number etc. So I guess one will have to enter a fake adress and Tel in their own country... brilliant!
