Idk if posts like this are alllowed here but we’ll see I guess.
So, my main Linux machine is a laptop from 2012 featuring a completely busted case (externally and internally) and latches (so it won’t close without performing an automated disintegration and it makes terrifying sounds when applied any pressure on), a suspected-to-be-dead dedicated GPU (not NVidia because obvious reasons), 2x4 Gb of DDR3 RAM and the slowest Toshiba HDD known to mankind that makes pretty concerning noises itself too and sometimes gives drive errors. However I’m planning to replace it with an SSD because I’ve not grown to the absolute wisdom of Linux users yet (vim is trash. use nano instead.). Oh and its OS is a distro based on Arch (btw) featuring GNOME for the DE because not grown to WMs yet.
I understand that I don’t have an external display and a keyboard because the laptop’s ones work perfectly and it’s not a Thinkpad but hopefully it’s not too bad.
No, the Linux community is dimensionless. Physical objects cannot fit within it.
Hope this helps.
I’ve heard BSD is also incredibly tight.
I’m… Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop “fitting in the community?”
As any other community, Linux community has its own principles and tendencies. I’m talking about DIY distros (like Arch), autotiling WMs, programming socks, $30 Thinkpads and similar things here. But ultimately this post is obviously a joke and a bad one ik. Guess I have to get an examination for that genetic disorder which causes a stable abnormally increased amount of ethanol in blood lol.
You’re thinking of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, I think.
Yes. Didn’t know it was called the same in English as it is it my native language.
Of course, I even installed latest MX Linux on my 2007 netbook, with an atom 32 bits, 3GB of RAM, I replaced the old HD with a $20 SSD, works fine, pretty slow in firefox, but works :)
If it runs Linux, definitely
