@codemonkeymike Damn right!
A friend asked me for help with their laptop, the manufacturer's site told me, when inquiring about the exact model, straight up TO BUY ANOTHER.
An 8GB RAM Ryzen 5!
The cherry on top is that, after installing Linux, fwupd worked flawlessly and updated the firmware right from the manufacturer!
The laptop is fully compatible with latest EVERYTHING and they don't even advertise it.
It's foolish and wildly anti-ecological. Please bring those machines to good use.

Learning to read and write since the late 70s. Lurking online since the 90s. First time in social media (still not sure about it, but the Fedi looks fun!). I boost a lot about... anything really, beware! Perhaps not worth the follow, but hopefully not worth the block either. I like internet search quests and might help with yours! What else? Open-minded cishet Spanish guy, I love using English too. Linux user but won't pest you about it. So... See you around, and thanks for checking in!
