It's a Toshiba Satellite C50. It's at the barest limit of Fedora requirements, I guess. I am not sure why you want to know this? I have zero intention of using it as a work machine. It's just to try various distros out on to see if I like the general GUI etc. My main laptop is a nine-month-old Lenovo Yoga 7 16 inch touchscreen which currently has Windows 11 installed. I do not intend to install Linux on that, but I do boot Linux from an external SSD successfully from it.audiojunkie wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 5:13 pmWhat model of Toshiba is it?dellboy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 3:18 pmIt's just an old Toshiba i3 that I had kicking around doing nothing, so I am using it to test various distros on.

The trouble is that a lot of distros are not including a live ISO any more and have to be installed to test them.audiojunkie wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 1:23 am Did you check the laptop and components for Linux compatibility? Confirm that your parts are compatible with Linux.
What is the make and model of your laptop? What are the specs?
Linux Users, What's You Distro Experience?

You’ve mentioned several problems with linux on it. I wanted to check compatibility to see what might be hanging you up. But, I guess it’s not too important.dellboy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 5:41 pmIt's a Toshiba Satellite C50. It's at the barest limit of Fedora requirements, I guess.
