I'm curious , what made you think about a Linux system ?I had not thought of a refurbished laptop; since I closed up my office, a computer is is more of a toy than an income generating device. I had my eye on a System 76 but I like your idea better. I will keep this in mind as well as your offer, Open office will open and use all of my old files should I need to do that. My greatest concern was finding drivers for Linux and getting a printer/scanner/fax to work.
Newegg, huh? I just looked, very interesting idea.
I'm the same age as Bronze and I understood it , me understanding it is probably 50% of the reason BK posted it , nobody else understanding it outside of LA would account for the other 50% .![]()
Or as Pop would say, "Don't get him started!"
Finally got by the house for my big order.
How about the middle , that way it's equa distant from either end .Prefer the garage on the left side of the house instead of the right?

100% agree with you on all of it . Linux is about choice and yes it's far more stable than Windoze , that's why MS's servers run linux . I don't know if you're familiar with DE's or desktop environments in Linux such as KDE , Mate or Cinnamon , they basically have different menus and degrees of customization , KDE being the most customizable followed by Cinnamon , XFCE , etc . It's still ubuntu or Linux Mint or whatever Distro you chose , underneath . What I would suggest is you download Virtual Box in Windoze and setting up virtual machines to try different versions out . Ubuntu calls their DE's flavors , you can download Iso files and install them in Virtual Box to get a feel for what suits you , I'm recommending Ubuntu because of the Wifi printer support built into it . The gateway to all things Linux is here DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.Let me count the ways. I am sick of the updates on MS schedule. I am not sure that I want to be beholden to a mega-corp for a tool so vital to my work and pleasure. I hate Office. I no longer own a computer, I use it at the pleasure of MS, the machine is mine and its soul is that of MS. I'll bet they know a lot, I mean a lot more about me than I do about them. I think Linux is more stable and reliable. I like to tinker and think I can tinker more with Linux than Windows. I loved and used DOS to the max and was one of the last to leave; I wouldn't have but some research software no longer supported DOS and MicroPro WordStar had become garbage. My first Windows was Windows 2000 (you know I was a late adopter).
That is all I can think of off the top of my addled brain.
