I found an HP EliteBook in a recycling pile. It looked good so I grabbed it. It was just missing SSD. I coincidentally had a compatible power supply. I got ChatGPT4 to help search for and find a suitable SSD drive (there’s a lot of little codes that you have to watch for beyond just basic SSD memory size). I spent probably $20-$30 for replacement refurbished Samsung SSD (though the vendor said it was new). Ultimately, installed Lubuntu on it. I really like having it as a secondary laptop to run Docker natively, for example. But, man, I would never want Linux as my primary system. I would miss too many of the features that you find on a modern commercial OS (e.g, accessibility features like text to speech). Yeah, I know, there are probably open source alternatives, but as far as I could tell, they were non-starters in terms of quality.
