Questions from a Linux-rookie.
I am experimenting with Linux.Mint on an older Windows-10 PC with AMD-processor. From USB-stick OR an old mechanical HDD that has it fully installed.
( I change that disk with the original every time)
Works well, understanding that AMD and apps like Dropbox don't work well. An Intel is needed.
Question is: Can I buy an older Chromebook with Intel Celeron, 32Gb , 4 GB RAM and use Linux with all apps on it ?
( Enough storage on other devices)

That #SunPCI #SBC is really cool...

Thx for @ncommander exploring that #Oddware...

I wounder if one can shove it into a System with #OpenSolaris running on an #UltraSparcT2...

kkarhan,

@ncommander It reminds me of some stuff like the #PoweMacintosh 6100/66 "DOS-Compatible" that #LGR reviewed ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UclHrIIaYA ) and the #Apple2 #PDS card that #8BitGuy took a look at ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvZ43JqrvXA ) ...

I wounder if we'll see something with #amd64-based #Atom / #Celeron / #COREi chips similar to the NUC Extreme Kits for #Linux #PC's once the mainstream goes #ARM64 or even #RiscV-128...

Is buying a computer with N5105 a bad idea? Usually I frown upon Celeron (some spooky experiences in the past mostly with laptops...) but this NUC I found seems alright. Considering I'm gonna run Linux on it, so I wanna stay on the light side.

Advice please?
