Well that's the thing, I can't afford to buy new where you can just return it and all that; I'll most likely be buying a refurb or used or older but new piece of equipment or possibly piecing together my own, depending on what i can learn about what I need for a smooth and easily fixable linux system
I have also heard this sentiment, that enterprise/business level hardware is best, even for personal use
Thanks, didn't know about the Broadcom wifi part.
oh dude i never do backups each time i start over from scratch its a brand new version of linux. the only "important" files (that I know of), i sync to the cloud.
Yup that did it. but when I report the errors, nothing freaking happens. it just loads and loads and loads and hangs.
is it really that simple? I was trying ways to like separate them or block them from each other
Docks and dongs! Two things you ought love lol
Wow wow wow, you guys are light years ahead of me in the equipment department. I plan to learn and utilize a lot of that stuff but I was more interested in the smaller everyday things like chargers, cables, flash drives, adapters, etc lol still great info though. I was super intruided by supermicros server selection when I went down that rabbit hole. Truth is, I'm not nearly ready for a server yet.
Hmm I always though western digital was pretty decent for hard drives?
Wow that is amazing, thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I do not want to mess around with virtualization; I went down that rabbithole before and got lost and broke stuff lol. I need to do a bit more research and learning before im more confident with virtualization. So how large should the swap be? and what about a bootloader?? Are all three compatible with grub? also how large should the bootloader partition be? thanks, this is all a bit foreign to me.
so basically if the computer has the specs that meet the distros newest version's requirements, it theoretically should be gold?
