The 4 easiest ways to test Linux on your old PC before Windows 10 support runs out https://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=348908
@LinuxToday one of the most important pieces of hardware that should be tested extensively before jumping is the wireless card.
#Linux is capable of handling most of them but some need more attention than others
@warper @LinuxToday for the longest time, it was soundcard, and i've still never had problems with network hardware. pls take this in the positive: hopefully you have stumbled onto some anomalies.
@lerudd @LinuxToday for me, it's been wireless adapters.
Sometimes they work on the live environment and they don't on the installed system.
For a newbie to #Linux this could be challenging nevertheless Windows has its own weirder issues.
Anyone new to #Linux needs to understand that it's not Windows

@warper @lerudd @LinuxToday it's not Windows, it's something more stable, modern, efficient and as powerful as you want
