Gotcha! I browsed their site a bit. I'd have to check ebay because I cannot afford the prices on their new stuff lol. I have a question that maybe you can answer. alot of folks recommend older laptops or whatever for linux. Does age of the computer matter much? I know you can always make upgrades to the internals and such, but say I got an old thinkpad for example maybe from 2010.... and it's certified linux compatible and all that.... would i be able to run the latest versions of distros or would i be limited to older kernels due to the system being old? or is all of that determined by the hardware specs?
Wonderful to know! thanks alot. I have heard alot of good about linux and thinkpads but only up to a certain generation I think? What about HP? my computer repair guy swears by HP but I honestly know nothing about HP and never hear people talk about HP either.
Perfect, good to know. I hear some of the older model dell laptops are great for linux, but these Xps models have been troubled
oh it's all good brother, I could always try another distro in the future or just skip Xfce all together lol. I appreciate your help though
It's just that my model is a newer generation Dell and I've heard from multiple people that Dell is getting more and more locked down and proprietary like Apple, so im thinking that's why I haven't had the best linux experience on this darn thing.
Oh no, I couldn't care less about graphics, but at the same time I don't want a potato lol so no Nvidia for me
Ok I have always heard Latitudes and thinkpads up to a certain model or generation are good for Linux
