Hi #Linux team - any recommendations for a work desktop computer with the following requirements:

  • can do basic research stuff (reading, writing) and also a little bit of basic data analysis (with python or Matlab)
  • would run a distribution like #ZorinOS or Mint
  • with a Max budget of ~£500 (tax / screen / accessories not included)?
  • Ideally buying from this website: uk.insight.com/en_GB/shop/cate…

It's for work so I don't think we can go through 2nd hand websites and such to buy this..

Thanks for any suggestions!

just to add some context, do you mean is it possible to install #ZorinOS on a Mac with these specs? I'm sure it's possible... but haven't tried it myself.

Edit: as per responses below, with Apple hardware it is actually not possible to install ZorinOS 🫤

The cool thing is ZorinOS has a "macOS" theme so once installed you should be able to make it look very similar to what you're used to!

OK, to be fair my computer does sometime switch off weirdly when I tell it to switch off (like, showing matrix-like code and not switching off, or showing an empty black screen but remaining on), in which case I have to force-quit. Hopefully that will resolve itself soon (i.e., once I ask the #ZorinOS forum about it). Otherwise it feels much faster than Windows and I got a small plugin to have different backgrounds and pinned programs per "workspaces" (desktops) and I really like it!

I did the same for the same reasons a few weeks ago and feel the same about it :)
Yeay to us, and I hope many more people will make the jump!

Idea: #Linux installation tutorial for #Windows users who want to try it as a dual-boot?


Say, I would live-post the steps as I am doing it on an old laptop, with #ZorinOS (I installed it once and it works fine). People could try and do it at the same time.
I am a Linux newbie but I would count on others here to provide tips if something is not working...
What do you think? 👀

Notes:

  • This wouldn't be for MacOS users because I don't have a Mac
  • If anyone would like to do the same for another Linux distribution, they could propose that below
  • info on ZorinOS: zorin.com/os/
  • nice video from a youtuber trying ZorinOS: m.youtube.com/watch?v=N1H0a3D8…
