Hmmm, wow I am maybe a tiny bit afraid haha. Thank you for the info though. That would be interesting to experiment with!

Well, I am a beginner to Linux but I have been pretty well involved with Windows systems in the past. Not that I necessarily want the appearance of Windows. I guess I’m looking for lightweight recommendations specifically, right now to bring this laptop back from like a 5+minute boot time

My wife is leaning toward Ubuntu “MATE”, how would you feel about that versus the Debian and you mentioned. Personally I was thinking about mint

Would you say Debian is the lightest weight distro? Basically this will be used for college work maybe and just internet work stuff otherwise. So I’m trying to see just how well I can get this laptop to run at the baseline hardware.

Are you talking about plasma Fedora?

It does have 64

Why is it the only time I ever hear the word “fiscal” is when a conservative is defending their entire half of the political sphere 😂 let’s all look past the human rights abuses and absurd gerrymandering/rigging of the entire democratic system and just think about the “fiscal responsibility” aspect (That, paradoxically, only ever actually seems to drive the national debt up faster when conservatives are in charge)
