I don’t do anything if it’s not shiny and made by apple
That’s okay, you can still install Linux on Apple computers 👍
I’ve never seen this meme format before. Wasn’t too hard to find but there were alarmingly few results. Here’s an unedited copy: https://pin.it/4IDvvJwNb
I think what I’m trying to say is: where are you getting your memes? What should I make of this obscurity?
Truly cutting edge stuff, we’re on the forefront of culture here on Lemmy.
Had a computer that had 16gigs of ram when we first bought it but after a windows reset only shows 8gigs. Was told 8 gigs probably got burned and will need to replace motherboard.
What version of Linux should I install on this machine after my wife gets her own new machine?
…burned out?
lots of versions of windows limit the amount of memory they recognize.
We had an overheating issue and couldn’t restore so we had to do a reset and once that happened our system information said we had 8 gigs less than we had before the reset.
A buddy of mine said he thinks the slot connection died from the overheating.
oh yeah that could happen, but just to be sure…
Linux 0.71.1
Would Mint be good? Somebody told me its the most like AndroidOS and works well with touch screen.
Well i was joking previously. But Mint should be great and before installing you can play around in live usb and check if everything works well
Thanks. I just gotta get my wife to hurry up and buy her own thing.
You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.
Thanks. I will look into learning how to do this.
Mint comes in three editions - or with three different Desktop Environments. Think of it like alternative launchers\skins on Android, but more influential on how things work. I believe, some can be better with touchscreens than others out of the box. I’d suggest you to start with a Cinnamon version since it looks more modern and pretty, and with a higher probability of having touchscreen gestures and stuff. All of them are close to Windows in visual design. And since it’s Linux, many things can be added or edited afterwards, and be sure someone alresdy asked your question on the web (:
