Apologies if this post ain’t right for this community! I’m admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I’ve a close buddy who’s wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He’s wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he’s needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate’s got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there’s a better community for this lemme know!

    Go on Kijiji or whatever and look for a relatively recent used one with an Intel processor. It’ll be a lot cheaper, and you don’t need fancy hardware or features since you’ll not be using it as a laptop.
