We all also need to return to the office, no way the last 6 years of productivity proved anything about your ability to work.

Idk, $100 or so for 8th gen Intel isn’t too bad, but this is in the us

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Home depot in the us uses the mag strip for returns, FYI. Otherwise, I haven’t swipped a card in years

Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

I tired to use zorin recently, but went back home to bazzite. Zorin felt like a skin on Ubuntu and didn’t give me the warm fuzzies inside. I’m sure its fine, but not for me 🙂.

Makemkv works as well

This is the way.

Agreed

I agree. On a new machine I’ve been using I tried Ubuntu and then Zorin, but Bazzite just works better. Could be the Fedora base that’s helping a lot, idk. But switching that machine over when I’m not lazy.

I think older versions of office work under wine. I think the 2020 versions… I forget

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

Maybe AI generated

This is cool, but since is using lxd in the backend, i wonder how well someone can migrate the containers between systems? I guess non-stateful migration should be possible…

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

I have been playing with Incus recently.
