Rescued an old desktop which had been decomissioned as too slow and laggy for Windows even with 8GB RAM

Now running #linux_mint - I tried the #Debian edition but it was still a bit laggy with Cinnamon DE and also managed to hose its CUPS configuration immediately after the first update.

Had better luck with the #Ubuntu based edition (even though I didn't want to use Ubuntu as much) and it runs XFCE desktop very fast.

Even the printer still works! This might go in the next office as a backup PC, if they don't want it I will probably take it home with me and use it there..

My MBP #linux_mint continues. Fingers crossed for my shout for help https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=446600

Bitten the bullet and installing #linux_mint on my 2015 MBP.
It's been a workhorse or a machine, and with a bit of luck, I'll get a few more years out of it yet

Livebooting #linux_mint suggests wifi and such will work ok. Now to find the courage to backup all my files and flip the switch

And, for what may be the first time ever on TV, there's a desktop monitor with wallpaper/screensaver that isn't Jobs' or Gates'. Yup, on the right -- that's #Linux_Mint

A protocol for a display server doesn't allow changing the keyboard?
Make it make sense for me?

Gonna take some time off next week to try and install Linux on my desktop and reduce my exposure to Microsoft. Absolutely new to this so happy to hear if the Fediverse has any tips for a non-techy person like myself. What version? Know any good resources to orient myself? #linux #ubuntu #linux_mint #helpwithlinux

HP mt43 mobile thin clients with AMD Pro A8-9600b APUs, 8GB of DDR4 so-dimm RAM, and 128GB SSD, running Linux Mint (XFCE) 22.1. #linux_mint

Hmm. PC problems... Keeps halting dead - like the power's been unplugged. Nothing in logs and no indication of why. memtest says OK. CPU heat isn't a problem (gets up to 86 for half an hour while memtest runs). NVME fsck's OK. Different power supply tried. Ran for a day without problems from a live distro. Has to be the installation or the NVME, but nothing's changed.... So, looks like I'll have to re-install Mint. Could do without this. Grr.
