yeah, dont buy digital. If its not available as a physical product steal it.

The worst I have done is wipe out my home directory. Backups are good, I was able to copy everything back and it was like it never happened

Nah, most of the windows ones don’t get updates any more and the Linux ones can get a script that updates on boot. Takes longer to start up but handles the job itself.

I second Debian with LXDE. I run it on much older hardware with no issue.

Why are my CPU temps going up?
