I got an off-lease dell latitude 7400. Tbh, got it for free, but you can snag one on eBay for under $400. i5, 16 Gb ram, got a 1TB drive for $50 on Amazon. Runs Linux very well! I’d go with a light weight is like EndeavourOS or Arch.

EndeavourOS for the win! The speed of Arch Linux without the installation pain! Especially for older hardware?

A fair point. I deleted my account to reduce the statistics of active users of Reddit. On the one hand, I agree that the information that exists there is still relevant and can be helpful for some people, on the other, I don’t want my account to count for some stat that Spez will use to report to investors on the continued viability of Reddit.

Excellent!

I dropped and deleted the account. Only time I go to Reddit now is if I am searching for something and a Reddit link is part of the search and happen to have the answer I need.

Gimp, OpenOffice.org, VLC, Slackware, and on and on after that. Every flavor of Linux: RedHat, SuSe, Ubuntu, now on Manjaro and Endeavour.

Gnome online accounts are also in Cinnamon if you like a more traditional desktop paradigm. Using it now on Manjaro. Works well.

Good riddance to rotten garbage!

Supposedly you will be able to use FB Lite app to chat. I got the same message, uninstalled Messenger Lite and verified that FB Lite app works for chatting.
