I have extra old computers I can use for the hardware. Older than 4 years though. I probably would not install on my main machine yet until I know what I am doing. I did use Ubuntu like 10 years ago, and very much enjoyed it, but I’m assuming quite a bit is different and better now.
I thought the same thing about people telling me they ‘forgot to click send.’ I thought it was just bullshit people say, but apparently there are people who actually do this.
