Yes, it’s easy. BUT:
- buy Linux-compatible hardware. While you might technically be able to get something to run by removeding around, it’s just better to bit Linux-compatible hardware. If something doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, put it on a shelf and try again in six months.
- If you’re dual-booting windows, know that windows occasionally nukes the boot loader, so that only windows loads. This happens irregularly, like every 2-5 years. A Linux friend can help fix it, or you can follow instructions online (you need an empty thumb drive to do it).
Yeah, I’m about to give it a go, next I have tinker time.
