I'm mostly a Windows user, but I'm thinking about mixing things up and learning Linux. I'm looking at getting a 'burner' laptop with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. Is it true that Linux can run on pretty much anything? Do you think this setup will work smoothly?

Jumping into Linux is a fantastic idea! I remember when I switched from Windows over 20 years ago, and it was an eye-opener. Your laptop sounds great for getting started. Just ensure you have a decent processor; I've run Linux fine on an i5 with 8GB. And don’t stress too much if you run into minor hiccups—it’s all part of the learning experience! Enjoy exploring!

It Has an i5, so should be good by your words, thanks!
