A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Thank you so much for writing this out, I really appreciate it! Looks like I'll be installing Mint on my old laptop this weekend to see how I fair.
Agree. Just try Mint. It’s a solid choice.
I second this. Been using a few distros in the last 20 years, going back and forth between windows and Linux, but I've been using Mint in the last year and I don't feel like switching anymore. Teams, office and outlook all have a web app so no need for a native office installation anymore, and most Windows games on steam work well with proton.
