Linked is the laptop I bought today off amazon. It’s got pretty good reviews and it’s a solid upgrade from this ddr3 mechanical hdd msi I’ve been using since 2013. What spurred on the purchase is that I got a bsod a couple weeks back, explorer keeps crashing, and the drive for the last 3 days has been running at 100% nonstop.
I do plan on either doing something with linux mint or perhaps downgrading to windows 10 (since I have an actual copy of it at home).
Hope this works out! I really, really, needed an upgrade badly.


I’m exicted!
While I have you, when you install mint does it automatically update like windows does?
Yup theres a toggle for it in the update manager, major releases happen every two years while minor quality of life bumps are shipped every 6-8 months or so, everything else is security updates.
Everything can be done through a graphical app and using the terminal/command line is only for troubleshooting or personal use.
Oh nice, ty!
NP if you have any questions you can shoot them on the libre comm, even if its about how to get steam working.
