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 would report to ebay and request a refund personally, false advertising from the scammer seller.
Everyone is a scammer
what made you go with Linux Mint?
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.
