How cheap can i build a linux pc if i dont want to game on it? Just browsing, maybe play some videos from youtube every now and then. Mostly browsing and using excel etc for work, no gaming at all.
an old think pad might be a very good choice for about 150-200 dollars you can get a more then capable laptop for quite a lot of stuff

Can install that on this can of garbage beer and this AMD chip?
Cesar/Leo if you are out there thank you for enduring my stubbornness in learning Linux on Slackware. I bet you were patient every time I had issues and you didn't force me to switch distros. Thank you.
There's no wrong distro.
There is a wrong DE tho.

That's pretty much me. I've introduced a few of my friends to Linux. I recommend Ubuntu because it generally has the most documentation, support, largest userbase, etc but they are of course free to pick whatever distro they want. I use Ubuntu LTS myself, it works well enough. In terms of software, I like static linked builds and AppImages since they work on pretty much any distro.
Except openSUSE. Fuck that, it breaks with the smallest thing and is just odd. But this was like 5y ago on Tumbleweed, so maybe it’s changed.
No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.
I believe you, given how many people love it. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime. I love its KDE for some reason (and the boot animation beats other distros easily).

Am I the only one around here that uses MX Linux?
MX Linux is awesome! I do a bit of development on it here and there. The project owners are cool!
pfffff typical Ubuntu kind of guy 🙄
And that dude didn't show up years later trying to sell me something on TV! Looking at you Bad Luck Brian.
I told them to use Ubuntu LTS and they did. Why would I criticize?
First distro was Mandrake, yeaaars ago. Second was Gentoo. Third was back to Windows. Wish I'd gotten more into it. Definitely don't have the time for it now though.
