     @Suiseiseki I got this PC at a recycle center. It was perfectly fine aside from the front panel being a bit smashed so you couldn't press in the power button. I imagine whoever owned it ran the vacuum into it or something, and decided "oh well, better throw it out".

     @gabi @wildebest It's cringe - you're better off installing real GNU/Linux-libre or GNU/Hurd.

     @gabi @Suiseiseki I tried installing Hyperbola once and it was hell. Couldn't get my Audio driver running and had to spend weeks making my PC remotely usable to daily drive comfortably. Guess it's just my skill issues

     @wildebest @Suiseiseki Your computer would thank you if you install Parabola GNU/Linux-libre with OpenRC.
