Just like the thread about distro’s I thought we could share what hardware we use/own? Would be neat to see everyone’s set ups, maybe there’s some unusual hardware out there.

I have two older thinkpad’s (t420/t430s), a gateway laptop (yes that’s a thing). Somewhere around here I have a raspberry pi 4 2gb model, and some random no name minipc that I deeply regreat buying lol. All running some combination of debia/suse/freebsd/openbsd

    I most recently kicked Windows 10 off a Surface Pro 3! Linux Mint works great with it, even supporting the touchscreen and keyboard attachment out of the box.

      that’s cool that everything works out of the box on a machine like that

        I was pleasantly surprised. From the few memory sticks I tried, only Linux Mint and 9front booted, installed, and re-booted without a hitch. It might be fun to try and get the wifi and typecover working with 9front, if I can manage it.

          It’s nuts that 9front is one of the os’s that works on it lol. Have you used 9front a lot?

            It did require an external keyboard and doesn’t do wifi (yet) but I was pleased to see it install so easily. I’m am quite new to 9front and still learning my way around the OS, but plan to use it more as I figure stuff out, especially shell scripting :)
