I recomend you to max out the ram, replace hdd with ssd and thermal paste while cleaning the dust with compressed air. It'll work with Linux faster than ever.

You can try out different distros in Live-mode (no installation/format requirements) if you just format your biggest usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and drag and drop any .iso-file you want to try: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_ventoy2disk.html

I don't say what distro you should use. But if you're considering Linux Mint then try LMDE5 instead and here's why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128

Write a bash script and add that script into cron job.

That's your opinion and that's fine. For me, open hardware + hot swappable mechanical keyboard + trackpoint + designed to be repaired + the general opennes are the reasons why Virgo comes to my desk.

Framework is good for many and thanks to LTT will sell more units but I've been only with Thinkpads since 2008 so Coreboot + trackpoint are must-haves for me.

You should learn Freecad for 3D and Librecad for 2D. They're both used in professional production and works in every OS.

For gaming you should give a try for Linux. I just tried 3-4 games last weekend and they all worked with Lutris without any tinkering. Last time I tried 1,5-2 years ago and couldn't launch any 2010 era game just as you'd expect from the simplest way.

Edit. Some coder guys have recomended me to learn OpenScad for 3D too, but I haven't found time. They claim that ChatGPT knows OpenScad better than many other programming languages.

What? I'm using Jerboa and your link opens just an empty channel??!!

I bought an used color laser printer meant for business. Drivers made by manufacturer for Linux and Windows are bad as always, but CUPS for Linux works really well.

I wish there was a right-to-repair and privacy friendly printer, which required only Creative Commons drivers in Windows, and no bs, poorly made drivers + control software as always. Luckily rgb is becoming standardised.

I think the most enjoyable feature is that there is no algorithm in Fediverse. And decentralization means that if you host your own server for Pixelfed (instagram equivalent) for example, your data will go offline at the moment you disconnect your server from the internet.

Lemmy is great alternative for Reddit especially if you're into tech.

Yes, but listening to tech podcasts should include talks about tech only. I won't listen to it if it turns into non-tech related political talk even for oneliners here and there.

The old joke was "I hate when I go to Vuvuzela concert, but people starts to play soccer". It applies into tech as well, at least for me personally.

I don't oppose/resist peoples freedom for their self-expression on any level, but I want to enjoy tech purely free from politics simply because living avoiding politics is hard enough already. I still support Pride-people to express themselves as they want.

I've followed Louis Rossmann for more than 5 years and despite his channel has gone completely into opposing politics in wide themes, I haven't got anything else out of his political views than that he is a democrat despite he opposes Biden and deBlasio in general.

For me, as a very anti-political follower and hater of every politician and party, I really admire how Louis has ability to oppose and point out the problematic themes in omnious way and always unrelated to party, which I find very rare in the US.

Darn how cool it is and I almost ordered it. Too bad it isn't wireless using 1850 cells.

Any popular distro will work equally good. The downside is that you have a NVIDIA gpu and it doesn't work with Wayland. Nvidia said they'll release Wayland support before end of the current year but let's see.

For the best Nvidia support out of the box you'd probably try Pop_OS! first. But you can just format your biggest usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and just drag and drop any file into it and test the distro in live mode before installing anything until you've found your favorite distro. At this point you choose the one which satisfies your eyes most.

There's also Nobara Linux, which is created and maintained by the Linux gaming legend GloriousEggroll, but it is unclear to me does it provide any benefit over other distros.
