Hi, want to buy some used hardware to run with Linux (Gnome DE ON Mint, Debian OR ElementaryOS). Mainly Office use, transcoding, but also for casual gaming Half-life 2 and maybe some more modern games. Are Thinkpads with integrated GPUs sufficient for that? Any nice alternatives which are sturdy and can be upgraded? TIA! EDIT: thank you for all the helpful input. Will check AMD options!

    Heard that so often, but cannot relate. Coming from the NES, SNES, GBA games, I cannot see why this game was so popular. Currently playing it on 3DS, but need to force myself at times..

    LineageOS still uses many Google servers for location, time, etc. in underlying processes.

    GrapheneOS have their own servers and are the only ROM to cut those ties to Google.

  • Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM. Any good guides to follow? And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!
