Ayyyy, lovely, thanks! Got it bookmarked now.

Purge away!

Oh yeah, nice, thanks.

Oh no! I was going to reply and check your recommendation out!

Ha, nice. I totally forgot there was loads of communities on here. I’ve seen all the far side stuff before but it’s good to see them again. Thanks, good call.

How do you subscribe to it from hexbear though?

Ah, yeah. I don’t know the terminology. I’ll change it to threadbare My level of tech awareness is like… my friends think I know stuff but actually I’m just great at taking a punt and watching tutorials.

Anyway, yeah, I changed the old one to a nifty NVME and now it runs like a dream.

Currently I’m using Zorin OS Alite - do you really think I should go to mint or Ubuntu before I start settling in? My initial reaction to Zorin is that I’m satisfied with it, but if it’s not as reliable as mint then maybe I should just start again?

Yep, that’s what I did. Super fast now.

Ah, mines the one with the m.2 SSD slot (or something like that) - I replaced it with a nice fast one for £30 and it’s running like a dream. Much faster than it was before.

Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8

You should be able to replace the HDD with one of the bigger SSD’s though? Isn’t the bracket for it built in?

But surely one for lower end/older machines will be as barebones as possible?

No gaming, hopefully. Perhaps hearthstone if I succumb to it.

Oh, true yeah. Oh well, too late now. I’ll keep it mind if I want to go back to windows.

Interesting. Going to mull over the options on my walk to the shops to get a USB. Thanks.

Perfect, I’ll take your word for it. Unless someone comes in here and convinces me otherwise.

Thanks!
