hello im back again…
so i recently upgraded a 11 year old laptop i use to use from 2gb of ram to 8, it made a big diffrent. also thanks to the linux community i decided on linux mint mate and its a pretty basic laptop.
i was going to use the laptop to make gaming videos with but it cant really game too well or record while gaming. it has another issue that is the battery is bad so it it to be plugged into a wall at all times, i guess its not very portable.
I litterly have no idea what to do now with it and i dont want to sell it sense i just upgraded the ram, like woudl it be better to try somethign else, any ideas by chance or things to share?
If it only works plugged into the wall turn it into a NAS.
why did i not think of that, do you recommend an os for a nas also what can i put ona nas if it dosent thave a dvd player? ive been wanting to try ai things and engine sof sorts but idk if that will even run.
also i guess im currently using the laptop to learn linux.
Pretty much anything people have been running on raspberry PIs should work. Pinhole for ad blocking,home assistant for smart home, plex/media host, or a NAS.
You could make this device into a adblock machine or install proxmox/xcp-ng on it and play around with different services!
So i baclicly turn it into a nas? also what things might i install on it along side an adblocker?
I’m new to Lemmy, what’s with all the misspellings, is it intentional or am I over analyzing?
Install, try and play with Haiku-os!!
