Awesome! I’m one of the guys peer pressuring you in the other thread, and I’m glad to see it worked.
It also just so happened that you went for the same distro that I use on my desktop.
What’s going to be the primary use of this laptop other than having linux installed? Any projects or use cases in mind? I’m asking because I found out some time around the turn of the century hat the best way to learn linux is to use it for something one would otherwise do in Windows.
