Actually, it appears Norton AV is generating the exception.

 I don't know shit about Norton AV, because it is shit.  And proving
it now by giving bad info about postimages.org.
 

 I'm just tired of dealing with it.  Could be Malwarebytes also blocking
or Adblock software.  I've stopped trying to upload images
postimages.org for the moment.

 It's the year 2024 and yoose people still can't figure out how to work
your computers. It's a very sad thing.
 Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
 

 I'm telling you... drop the windows virus fast, and go with the lizard and all your worries will go away!
 https://www.opensuse.org/ .

 You liking that better than Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, etc?

 Oh yes... ubuntu is often very buggy. As for mint, I think mint is a good option. I've heard if spoken of in poisitive terms from time to time. Elementary I have no experienc of.

 I concur on Ubuntu, cutesy release names is about all I found fun in it.
 

How's the desktop interface and is the software library extensive?

 Just like any distro. Gnome, KDE or Xfce or anything you like. Plenty of software available, and they have a unique "webbased" system here: software.opensuse.org. You search for what you want, click on a link, and the GUI package manager opens and installs. If you are more of a CLI guy there's the command zypper that does the same thing.

 Thx.
 They're about to make a change to a flatpak mutable iteration, do you favor that or prefer this immutable one?

 It is my great sorrow. I prefer a regular distro, without any flatpaks or immutability. I know enough of the system and how it behaves, to not shoot myself in the foot, and I also use it for day to day computing and not as some kind of container platform. So if opensuse moves to that, I'm forced to move on sadly. =(
 I'm currently looking at FreeBSD, debian, slackware and perhaps alpine linux to replace my dear opensuse if it is discontinued. =/
 Those are not beginner friendly but they all align more with how I like my linux to work.
