Hello. I bought a new computer recently, and the computer I'm replacing is still good, but it only works as a tablet now. I'm considering putting Linux on it, but would it be worth it or should I get rid of my old computer? Thanks!

You should be able to boot from an SD card, a USB drive, or a CD to try out Linux without actually installing it on your computer's hard drive.
