I'm between living locations and can't carry my desktop around.
So I grabbed an old laptop and put Linux mint on it. It's been near perfect. Extremely smooth experience.
It detected my printer and auto installed. I installed steam and played Terraria without issue. Small performance problem but I don't have a GPU. Even works good with my docking station.
My only complaint is the audio device doesn't switch automatically when I dock/undock.
I'd recommend making a USB and boot into it for a test drive.
Awesome, thanks for the insight. I was actually looking at Linux Mint myself. I need around 4Gb on a USB to boot it, correct?
That might do it. I don't own anything smaller than 16 GB sticks. I used Rufus on windows to make my stick.
