    sorry for being inactive here, I have other things happening at the moment. i’m just gonna put some stuff here

    You will mostly stick to defaults (at least initially).

    Kinda, I recently started to get interested in modding! It isn’t stuff like homebrew (although I was planning to root my phone, until OEM unlock was disabled. Thanks wiko.), I mostly just use something like vencord and Bloxstrap (just tweaks the Roblox client a bit, no exploits tho) This might be not seen as modding, but who cares.

    Your ‘computer-literacy’ is at least (slightly) higher than average.

    slightly, I do know how to use HTML to an extent, and can know whats the difference between RAM and hard drives, I still have a long way to go.

    Ok here are some of the specs that I can remember (I’m currently not home as of typing this)

    I have a HP 2022 Laptop, decent enough to play games

    I have a 512 hard drive and 12 GB of RAM

    only has 2 USB ports, most of it was replaced by type C, so dual booting with.something USB related might be hard

    Dabbled a bit into linux with a VM (a few years ago tho, it was Ubuntu)

    and thats all I could remember, I do plan to do an update post after trying out some distros on a VM, hopefully it works!

      Thanks for taking the time to answer!

      No worries, fam.

      Very interesting! I see a promising future for you on Linux 😉.

      Ok here are some of the specs that I can remember (I’m currently not home as of typing this)

      HP is not exactly known for their Linux support. However, they surprised probably everyone when they had a relatively recent partnership with System76 to produce the HP Dev One. Heck, even I’ve been pretty successful with using Linux on my HP laptop.

      As for the specs, they seem more than fine to me. You can basically run any desktop environment with that hardware.

      Hmm…, I’m not sure if I understood you. Could you elaborate?

      We’d love to keep informed 😊!
