I would look into one of the mainstream e-sellers.. Also depends on your location and if you can get to the microcenter in Cambridge.. As you can get a lot of info. Just watch out for the push one or two sales staff. But there you can see and touch the hardware.. Then they will price match alot of places including NewEgg.. The main parts I would make sure is compatibility with the Linux distro you're going to use. On Tue, Sep 15, 2020 at 8:56 AM Dennis Payne via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:
My general response to someone asking about a desktop computer:
If you aren't gaming or doing something else that requires lots of memory or graphics support, any modern computer will do what you need.
I've liked System 76 computers but there insistence on using Nvidia has decreased my interest. I haven't looked at desktops in a long while so I can't say I have anyone to recommend.

I want to consider getting a new desktop computer. Can anyone advise me as to a specific model and place to purchase from? It's been a long time since I've bought new.
I would be using it mostly for emails, a few general apts (like music streams and libre office), and a bit of amateur coding. I am not a gamer.
If it is a windows machine, I'd like to load on a linux based os
Suggestions?
