Can any of you recommend a supplier of a decent PC to replace my rather sad 4Gb Core Duo machine with something a bit more modern? It *must* run Linux. And I'd like some better graphics (having recently had a play with a 5K Retina iMac, I'd like something comparable - I'd have kept the Mac, but macOS drives me bonkers). Apart from that, I'm flexible; perhaps a quad core i5, 16Gb memory, happy to be persuaded into an SSD (possibly just for the O/S) and Tb disk for everything else.
No Gigabyte mobos, please. I've just had a hideous time with my wife's old machine which has one (and was supplied by Novatech, who are tainted as a result). And nothing made by Samdung (sic), I won't buy anything made by them. What's Dell's stuff like these days? This machine is an Inspiron 530 which has been great, it's just getting on a bit and stuff like GIMP, transcoding audio and video and general waiting for windows to open & programs to start is becoming wearisome. I don't play games.
Happy New Year,
Huge.
