      Ebay and Craiglist will be flooded with deals in October, it will be a glorious month for homelabs and budget gamers/hobbyists everywhere.

      Nice haha. I have an old gaming laptop that I want to put Linux on (it’s not compatible with 11), but it may not be compatible with anything at this point. But we’ll see.

        As long as it is a 64bit platform, I don’t see any potential roadblocks in your way. NVIDIA software can be hit or miss though.

        I’m running Debian on an old tower from like, 2006, your laptop is probably fine.
