Computer Update.

So I ordered a HP Elite 8300 off eBay, but of course what showed up was a HP Prodesk 400. About a even swap but means the i7 3rd gen I bought is useless and will just use the i5 4th gen CPU it came with. The SDDs I got work fine but need a SATA expansion for the HDD. Got Linux mint loaded and at least it’s quiet

I’m comfortable with Debian and Ubuntu and it’s just easy. I’m changing around hardware and didn’t feel like troubleshooting software drivers too

I usually run Debian or EndeavourOS. Neither seemed to play nice on this old MacBook a1181. Linux Mint just worked. It's not a bad distro, I'd definitely recommend it to new users over Ubuntu.
