@brigrammer @Humpleupagus @tk @J @anemone @graf @sun Don't be intrigued, just pick any mini computer with a Gen 2 onwards CPU with integrated graphics and min 4GiB RAM + 128GiB HD for <$100 at Ebay. Deploy Linux Mint XFCE on it and start getting familiar with it.

Just don't treat it like windows, Linux is its own thing, with regards to the community it is as good and as bad as mankind/the internet is good or bad.
