I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I’d like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn’t run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.

    Used dell workstation. If you need a GPU you can swap out the power supply with the help of an adapter.

      +1 for the workstation. Using one rn and have been for 3-4 years. Never knew there were adapters for the psu… never needed one for my 1070.

      I did have to cut a hole in the door panel so the gpu would fit though.

      Also my tower has built in handles which is real dandy for hanging cables off of.

        Yeah my GPU pulls way more power than the pcie slot can provide.
