1 year agoJust checked it out, It’s an I5 6500, a little older than I thought, but ubuntu recommended specs are pretty low: CPU: 1 gigahertz or better RAM: 1 gigabyte or more Disk: a minimum of 2.5 gigabytes
no uefi so I’m good to go. probably

That’s two votes for ubuntu. I like the idea of a virtual machine protecting me from myself. I’ve got desktop and a laptop, but need them both active. I’ve also got an old desktop in a closet somewhere, wonder if the hardware would still be functional enough to learn on. CPU is probably a 7th gen I5, to give you an idea of the datedness.
Is there a difference between making a partition and dual booting? Like could you install for dual boot without creating a partition in the process?
