Apologies if this isn’t the correct forum. A couple of days back, maybe a week, someone made a post asking if a certain pre-built SFF PC would run Linux. Several people responded that they run that same PC and that it works great. I’m planning to build a PC for my mother and this would be perfect for her needs. However, I can’t find the post and I can’t find anything relevant in my browser history.

If anyone knows the post I’m talking about, please let me know. Thanks!

          That’s a lot of money for what you’re getting there. I highly recommend used 1L office PCs, like the Lenovo ThinkCentre tiny machines. They’re regularly under $100 USD on eBay. Although if you prefer something new that’s totally understandable.

            My mother in law wanted to change her insanely old pc (for email and, not much more).

            She wanted a cheap but new one (IMO a terrible idea) but I just got her a used thinkcentre tiny for 100€.

    For anyone looking for a basic PC have a look at off lease PC’s.

    Most of the PC’s will be business class PC so even if they are several years old they still have several years more life left in them.
