I have an old laptop. I tried to do parmanode but it was too technical for me. I have no idea when it comes to anything Linux.

I bought a refurb dell micro tower on Amazon and new SSD.

I literally flashed the SD card with the start9 img and turn it on. Up and running In minutes.

Oh for real? That easy? So if it’s an old Intel/windows, all I need to do is flash sd, plug in sd, and it’s good?

Yep. That’s all I did.

Damn gonna give that a try now!

Any luck on this yesterday?!

Nope. Though I didn’t expend too much energy on it.

I downloaded a file from the start9 GitHub onto a thumb drive. Put it in my computer. Restarted it. Nothing happened. So didn’t try any further lol

You’ll need to boot from that thumb drive.

Yea that’s out of my skill set šŸ˜†

But first things first. If you do install this on your laptop. It’s going to wipe the entire hard drive and install this as the new operating system.

I use an old 2012 mac mini with ubuntu/umbrel and it's pretty solid.
