   College laptops:
   
   Get a Thinkpad and install windows 10 (or 11 if you're willing to be ballsy) and it'll work fine

     Obviously don't get something from 2 decades ago, get something from like 2010 or later at the least and you'll be fine

     @ElDeadKennedy don't think that would work very well for the weird programs cs professors make you install. Friend of mine had to use this archaic game engine thing

     @ElDeadKennedy plus 32 bit stuff is starting to disappear slowly. Not even freebsd supports 32 but processors anymore

     @kirby @goo
     Imagine me doing it in the early days when Wine didn't work or maybe didn't exist at all — there were no VirtualBox or other easy to use virtualization solutions… And as they didn't provide hardware I was like: "Sorry, I can't complete your assignment, I don't have Windows" 🤣

     @skylar is it more affordable than the Thinkpad, because I've been using Thinkpads for some time and being dirt cheap and reliable really makes me like them a lot
