Hey everyone, I’m looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I’d like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!
You can always set up dual boot on the windows desktop. Be warned though it is a slippery slope… I did that to test it out and then just didn’t log back in to windows.
You’ll probably want a second boot drive too. Windows updates like to eat GRUB sometimes.
