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!

#MacOS


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
