@latenightlinux Tell May that I have an old Dell PowerEdge server she can have that will make a great space heater. No alterations needed. 😂
@latenightlinux good banter episode! I was surprised that no one even mentioned any of the Linux focused hardware companies like System 76. Maybe go ARM and try out the open hardware MNT Reform? It'd be great to support the ecosystem!
@latenightlinux any of the Thinkpads I've scrounged have been great with Linux mint or even freebsd
