Used thinkpad. You can get a nice laptop 140 to 220 in Europe on eBay and cheaper in US, depending on the specks or how old it is.

Generally speaking anything like the x280 / t480 / L580 or newer should be fast enough for most web browsing, including online meetings.

I seriously recommend spending extra on something with an IPS screen, or else your eyes are in for a bad time.

Also, try to get something with 16GB of ram, 8GB is enough for casual web browsing, but 16GB allows you to open many tabs comfortably and is run many applications at once.

And even then it’s hard to find sometimes

Housing, transportation, internet, electricity, water and a VPN if your country doesn’t let you pirate without it.

Everything else is either superfluous or you can pirate it.

Old news, install Librewolf.

Oooh, so that’s why that guy makes multiple accounts and deletes after posting.

Oh yes, let me cut myself completely from society and 90% of people I’ve ever met. That will tell Zuckerberg!

Weird, Linux always worked for me on pretty much any computer I ever threw it on, apart from a issue on an old (pre nvidia-open) Asus ROG laptop where it would kernel panic sometimes when resuming from sleep when using nvdia and video going black after screen going to sleep when using the Trident driver on historical pentium 3 era machines.

Overall for the great majority of laptops linux works perfectly fine out of the box. When in doubt buy Thinkpads, those are warrantied to work well, any if there’s a quirk it will be properly documented together with it’s fix.

Works on NewPipe :)

How do you even sue a shadow library? Aren’t they like, behind 7 proxies?

Depends on what you use the computer for, for gaming, maybe you’re right, idk. I personally use the computer for 3D modeling which mostly relies on the GPU.

I’ve recently built a computer with the latest gen GPU and got a nice 12 gen i7 as platform for it, the GPU is from 2025, but the CPU is like 4 years old.

The thing is, I could have gotten a much older CPU haven’t I found the 12th gen for the same price. If I could just upgrade the GPU and ram on my old laptop I wouldn’t have bought a whole computer.

Besides, buying a laptop with 16GB of vram would have been much more expensive than a desktop.

I want that!

And now your bank app doesn’t work.

Meanwhile I’m still at 1080p and most content I watch not even that.

Once a week usually, or when I have to reboot anyway.

I just hit it againt the counter until the peal breaks then it starts behaving like a bouncing ball. I keep playing with the ball until the shards are small enough and then pull the peal that now is more like a skin.

Then wash it with running water to get rid of the remaining shards. This step helps cooling down the egg which after boiling is too hot anyway, but you can probably skip and just pull the remaining shards manually it if you are one of those people who can stand and prefer things superhot.

Protip: People who have iGPU + nvidia can just set the iGPU as main GPU on the BIOS and offload 3D programs to the nvidia via prime-run like they would on a laptop.

That’s my setup.

Steaming on a web browser won’t work well, but if you can download the file and open it with mpv, or open dev tools and find the stream URL and send it to MPV then it should play fine.

Also I second xfce, any distro will do, I still recommend upgrading to ssd if you can, it’s a HUGE performance increase whatever the specks of the machine are.

At very least use VeraCrypt, not backdoored bit locker.

Still, Windows has an universal backdoor, Microsoft can copy the keys from memory (together with all your files or access your camera/mic at any moment. If you have to use windows, I recommend never letting it connect to the internet. Or else use GNU/Linux and luks.

(Note that I meant that MS can copy the keys from memory from any internet connected unlocked device, they can’t unlock a very crypt encrypted system if they haven’t used the backdoor previously to extract the key).

The point is, don’t expect any privacy from windows, unless it’s isolates from the internet.
