Questions from a Linux-rookie.
I am experimenting with Linux.Mint on an older Windows-10 PC with AMD-processor. From USB-stick OR an old mechanical HDD that has it fully installed.
( I change that disk with the original every time)
Works well, understanding that AMD and apps like Dropbox don't work well. An Intel is needed.
Question is: Can I buy an older Chromebook with Intel Celeron, 32Gb , 4 GB RAM and use Linux with all apps on it ?
( Enough storage on other devices)
@hanktank61 I'm puzzled by you saying that AMD and Dropbox don't work well together. I've been running Linux Mint for over 15 years on a Dell Vostro 1720 with a dual core AMD processor and Dropbox has been fine.
@NormanDunbar
No.
I read it on site, posted by someone who is more an expert than I am.
Once I have to use code deeper into Linux , I want to be careful not to wipe out the main disk used in the PC
Everything on that is on a safe back-up already.
Many apps on PC I don't need, most things are done with phone anyway.
But Dropbox I want to be able to use on all the three devices I use.
Thanks for you post .
@hanktank61 I used it on two tablets, my old one and new, Android. My two Mint Linux AMD laptops, old and new, plus my phone, also Android. So far, happily working for years.
