Hey all. Going to take advantage of dellrefurbished sale. Dell is all abour Ubuntu. But I’d like to play around with LMDE.

Anyone running LMDE on Dell Precision? If so, how’d it go?

Edit: oh well, dellrefurbished doesn’t ship to Canada. Question still stands.

    @atzanteol @just_another_person i have run into issues like ‘almalinux doesn’t work on this machine but centos does’
    some distributions i think have started to remove support for some older hardware assuming nobody is using it (thats my theory)

      That’s the problem with providing “general guidelines”. 😀

      There can be differences in which modules are enabled that vary by distro as well. Maybe the alma folks are more picky. But If it’s an issue you can always compile your own kernel and enable whatever you want. The Gentoo folks know what I’m talking about. Used to be more common “back in the day” to get support for something bleeding edge.
