For the love of god and all that is holy just use mint cinnamon it’s the easies most stable with little learning curve ever. High performance great for work gaming browsing whatever lol. If you can use windows 7/10 you can use mint cinnamon

Seeing American equipment doing what it was designed to do best. You love to see it

That must be awful goddamn. KIA not sleeping right? Was hard to tell but Jesus Christ

Old think pads can be had for dirt cheap on eBay, you’ve essentially got a little server you can hide anywhere, you don’t have the keep the lid open (disable sleep on lid close, you can hide it wherever you want now) , ANDmost importantly it has it’s own little integrated UPS :)

Sad to see this so heavily down voted. A ton of emotional reasoning from people in this thread rather than by logic.

A gang shooting, police shooting, robbery, self defense etc are not mass shootings. Period. Its dishonesty to include those statistics.

Lol fantastic response. And its crickets from everyone else being critical

Lmao some malicious ass advise here

Conservative

Yeah I was gonna say this is something anyone in tech knows, spaces are a plague

Wow that’s cool

Never heard this, stealing it

I’ll set this up this weekend, thanks for the heads up (salute emoji)

Really everything taken straight out of the US playbook, they learned from us after all.

Highly rexommed Mint Cinammon or Pop!_os

Literally whatever is in your price range. If you can swing an i7, something relatively new like gen 6 or higher. If not i5 gen 6 or higher. Recommend at least 16 GB ram, 32 preferable. Make sure it comes with a working battery and charger. Anything else is your preference, like does it have a VGA port? Or HDMI? Or a disk drive. Or flash card port. A GPU is a huge plus for gaming if desired. Model doesn’t matter as much as specs do.

I use arch btw

Joking aside, id love to help you try transitioning to Linux. If you have questions let me know. I recommend easy to use “just works” distros like Mint (Cinammon) or Pop!_OS I love them both dearly and you dont have to be good with a terminal to use them.

Lmao true

Holy shit the truth with replication deleting the data you needed too true lmao
