If it works, ok for me.

But you'll still need to learn pretty much the same as if you'd get a computer with Windows and install Linux yourself. Most computer have a good deal of compatibility those days. Comparing your experience with a decade and half old MacBook against a computer that is more recent doesn't work. I have a HP desktop I got from a refurbished authorized seller, it used to run Windows 7 and now is running Debian Buster, I installed 32 G of RAM and still using the stock 2 TB HD. I've added a video card (GT 710) but that wasn't a need, the integrated GPU from AMD was supported. I also have a HP EliteBook G1 with 16GB and a 1 TB hard drive, runs with the integrated GPU on a Intel Core (i5) system. Everything works great, including the Wifi, the Bluetooth and the card reader. Also got another laptop from Acer, old brick dating from 2012 with AMD CPU, Radeon discrete graphic board, and all work well, Bluetooth, WiFi, network card and card reader. Only got to take your time to get the things right. Ideally also have another computer so you can search for answer. Learning is going thru errors and fixing them. > And, Polyna, it's best to reinstall every new release. Backups are often > best left behind; new start. I think you didn't get right what I said (and other said too). It is good to make backup of user data. But it is safe to upgrade from one Debian version to another. And it is also safe to do update on the packages themselves. > That was a joke... > Bye for now, Polyna & you all. > Ain't most humans self-centered Most human are self-centered but they have gotten maturity to know that if you want interaction with others, then there's a need to act accordingly to what is acceptable. We all need to eat and we all get hungry. Does it mean this justify that I pass in front of other waiting in a line ? No it doesn't. Our needs are balanced against the community. That what's called living in a society. > BR, > Gunnar > > It's no crime to say no > > > On Thu, 5 Aug 2021, 13:12 Polyna-Maude Racicot-Summerside, > <debian@polynamaude.com <mailto:debian@polynamaude.com>> wrote: > > Hi, > > On 2021-08-05 3:48 a.m., Gunnar Gervin wrote: > > Thx all. > > Problem solved; > > to your orientation. > > Most other challenges are > > possible to find in Duckduckgo or Google, & in former answers. > > I was in lack of sleep cos of heat > > Thus a bit manic; flooding, sorry. > > & didn't see the importance of culture, rules, definition of issue, & > > similar; I'm quite self-centered. > Now you know what you have to work on. > It's not only something that will be related to this mailing list. > But describing what we want is basic for getting what we'd like to get. > And this apply to all sort of situation in life. > > Being self-centered and going out for asking other for help is a bit > ironic. > > > BR, > > Gunnar > > -- > Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside > -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
