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?

Hi Ron et al, I have a System76 meerkat with Intel graphics that works very well for me. I use it for general purposes (email, web surfing, occasional Libre Office, etc), but I also hammer on it at times doing lengthy compiles and creating 3 GB ISO files (in 2-3 minutes!!). I'm running a remastered version of Ubuntu 18.04.*. https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat Andy -- Andy Stewart (KB1OIQ) Vice President: PART of Westford, MA (WB1GOF) Founder: Worcester Linux Users' Group
