I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that's why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.
Well, I'd like to think I'm just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian 'cause I got sick of Windows' shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn't even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I'm saying. We had control.
I wish I could find something to help me convert my dell laptop into a Debian device. It would be all sorts of fun.
Yes, that is how you install the OS. I meant little strangenesses found in dell hardware that I might encounter
If the laptop is older than the last release of Debian, there shouldn't be any problems at all.
