I’m still convinced the Dell Refurbished website isn’t real. Like why do they even bother selling crappy Celeron and Pentium systems when this website exists?

jsh,

As someone who frequents the laptop market, I’ll throw in my two-cents.

If you’re looking for value, don’t compromise on performance, buy refurbished.

While I’m certain it is definitely different from country to country, a refurbished laptop typically has more life to give in them.

I’d recommend business laptops, such as the Dell Latitudes or the Lenovo Thinkpads, but an M1 MacBook Air provides an absolutely shocking amount of performance for the price.

Checking sites like eBay or the pages of hardware resellers rather than big box stores is definitely where I’d go.

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

There’s a reason why chromebooks are so popular, and it’s not just the price.

jsh,

There used to be a Mozilla alternative, and then it got discontinued. :(

recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

jsh,

I second xfce. Stable, lightweight, easy to use, and modern (enough).

jsh,

That’d be based, but I don’t think there’s anything in that for them.

jsh,

Nvidia?

That’s awesome! Go you!

jsh,
