It’s been about 8 years since I gave Linux a real chance. I have an Sony VAIO PCG-3D3l Laptop which was abandoned by it’s previous owner.
I have no real plans for it, except to install Linux, and if I get comfortable with it, it’s probably what I will end up doing my banking on, because as much as I love Windows, I can’t say I ever feel secure using Windows.
What are your recommendations? I consider myself an advanced user with most forms of technology (Have an A+ certification that’s older than this laptop), but not on the level most of the people reading this are probably on.
Choose the distro that can auto-install all the drivers for you, like Mint. It sounds like you will only run Chrome on it anyway.
You misspelled Firefox there!
Yeah I’m thinking the Xfce Edition so far. The light on resource usage sounds appealing.
