| Shane's mom got a laptop from some guy at her work. It's an HP Pavilion 7, which was manufactured 12 years ago and still has Windows 7, and I figured it'd be a good test subject to install Linux on. Since [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-of-support|Windows is ending their support for the operating system from 7-10]], it's recommended to [[https://endof10.org/|breathe some new life into older computers by installing Linux]]. Especially if you're like me and hate Windows 11 and all the non-con genAI cortana gemini whatever shit. | [[:about:deflectric|Shane]]'s mom got a laptop from some guy at her work.

Yippee! There's something wrong with the laptop or the USBs we got. I documented everything I did on that drafts page so I can look back and be like "wow!", and maybe it will help someone else who is using the same oldass laptop as me. | But despite every tech nerd online saying "Linux is so easy to install even my 7 year old nephew can do it, why can't YOU, you stupid ugly asshole???", I have [[drafts:2025:0825linux_install#what_do|failed on my first day of attempting to install Linux]]!
