Lots of Linux distributions are specifically built for older laptops! And all of them tend to run pretty well on lower end equipment. Here's a list that also mentions the specs needed for each one: https://linuxsimply.com/best-linux-distros-for-old-laptops/

Linux Mint, probably the most popular one on all computers nowadays regardless of specs, has a minimum RAM requirement of 2GB with 4GB recommended :) they make Linux distros for old tiny Raspberry Pi computers so even if your computer is a hundred years old you'll probably be able to run TinyCore on it at least

Teams has decided it won't recognise like 50% of word docs anymore. So you can no longer edit them within teams and have to download them. If you simply read and scroll down it, the scroll glitches so bad for no reason. Ugh

Copying my response from above for u!

I've been using Zotero since I converted a few weeks back. It has some really useful plugins, so I would recommend adding this one first- it's like a store where you can easily browse and add them :))

I've using using it with Obsidian (there's a short guide you can find online), so while I'm writing an essay in Obsidian I can just hit a key shortcut and it lists every paper I've saved to Zotero. Then when I click one, it adds the citation!

I switched for the first time a few weeks ago!! I didn't realise until I booted my Windows partition earlier for work that I hadn't used it one single time since I did that because it was still open on the download page and forced a hundred updates on me 😅 it's really fun and freeing, I've tried a few and settled on Pop!_OS because I love the simplicity, the pretty desktop environment and the window tiling

I mean, they do CLAIM to be. Idk how truthful that is tho

Crazy that there's pretty much nothing we can fully trust as consumers 🥲

I like Floorp but i have no idea how much more/less private it is. I just like customising it

That's so cool man !!! Good luck w everything:)

Wrong country mate

Genuinely shocking to live in a world rn where the UK (where I live) is better on trans stuff than the US. A couple years ago I would have felt safer over there, at least in some states. I hope things get better for u lot

If a bot can develop your software better than you then you're a shit software dev

Yo what kind of textbooks? I love reading textbooks <- nerd loser. Hopefully starting my own PhD soon :)

Israel started the war decades ago when they committed the fucking Nakba mate

I think people are just goofing off and having fun with it man

If it's any consolation, the Skywind project is much further along than you would expect

Ngl I've downloaded it to my laptop and I haven't had to do anything. Everything has just worked so far. And if something stops working, the immutability means I can just roll back an update

I just installed it today! It's so easy to set up and use, games have been working right out of the box and I like the security of rollback updates. I'm brand new to Linux and i think it has the potential to convert people over

I'd argue it's been genocide since the 1940s

Exactly what I did. I'm more petty than interested in the Spanish neanderthal bones
