>was going to buy a cheapie new laptop just for browsing the web, watching porn, streaming movies from semi-sketchy sites like 123movies, etc etc
>shit, cheapest new laptops cost like $300. what do?
>randomly visit friend a few days later, noticed he had like two or three ANCIENT laptops in the corner
>lightbulb.jpg
>"hey fren, can I have one of your old laptops?"
>"sure bud, take any one you want"
>pick the least shitty one, its a clunky dell laptop from the 2000s, literally has windows XP preinstalled. this tells you how old it is
>the POS has 2gb ram and like a 200 gb HDD
>later that night go home and scrounge around for flashdrive im not using and slap linux mint XFCE on it
>check the HDD just in case theres anything interesting left on it, nope
>install linux mint XFCE and wipe out old windows XP OS with extreme prejudice
>now this shitty old laptop runs like a charm and has a respectable looking OS to boot
>laptop runs fine and smooth the majority of the time but tweak it a little bit just to maximize the shitty ram specs
>feels comfy AF having a laptop thats a literal beater but still performs like a champ. also not afraid of malware either cuz linux, and even if I did get something I can just reinstall the OS easy peasy
>total cost for this "new" and completely usable laptop? $0
>brb gonna cancel my netflix subscription too, oh shit looks like this computers going to actually save me money now
>thanks linux

Excellent thread fren, most of these retards don't know what they're missing with repurposing old computing tech
fuck that man is beautiful
>hey fags heres a money hack
>beg your friend for one of his spare laptops !
okay retard
so the "hack" is that old laptops can work sometimes?
lol at how broke you are
stealing them is part of the hack
just get a thinkpad for like $120
sad, many such cases
lol my friend wasnt using them. they were literally like 10+ year old laptops. You dont even need to ask a friend for one, you can do the same if you have some POS old laptop laying around
the absolute state of Zig Forums, anons reeee when I tell them this one weird trick on how to save hundreds on a shitposting & porn laptop by getting an old beater laptop and putting an opensource OS. casting pearls before swine...
How many treatments of HRT did this dude have to get?
>use linux on an ancient laptop
Is OP implying he thinks someone on here might not be doing that? I thought that's how everyone posts on Zig Forums.
Jesus this thread is so fucking gay I'm actually trying to contain myself not to suck a dick.
for a sec this was a post from /g/.
>fudders gonna fud
kek /thread
This.
I just buy two year old high end developer laptops from corporate liquidation sales
You get a several thousand professional computer for a few hundred
Where can you find these sales? Easy to just ghost the HDD/SSD with a newer better SSD and have a nice unit.
Based.
New MacBook Pro owners seething.
As other anons have pointed out, this is a /g/ thread, spiritually. A Zig Forums thread by circumstance.
The splintering of boards is honestly one of the worst things to happen to 4kids imo. I always understand the "why" behind the board separations, but they really aren't necessary. Oldfags just need to be a bit more vocal.
Fuck niggers - literally all you have to say to send reddit running. And speaking of plebbit let me share with you a TED talk that actually activates the almonds. ted.com
>t. all-in Link
Jannies eat cock and poop
>changes OS on clunker PC
>one weird trick
that's the joke you nigger retard. go back.
Yeah but then you have to use linux for an OS. Linux is literally only good for server purposes, it blows massive fucking cock as a consumer OS
do you retards not understand pawn shops exists? hella cheap laptops
>cum stains
gimme a link to these sales homie
In my country usually they announce these regular product liquidations online
Is this thread supposed to be a joke or bait?
