I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    Only 32 GB of storage is insanely low, what the hell. They shouldn’t even be allowed to make laptops like that unless you are able to replace it…

    I would never think about running something of a MicroSD, good thinking on your buddys part!

    I hope the new desktop has decent storage now :D

      I know!! I think the idea with those types of laptops were that most people just needed a laptop to browse the internet and could live off of web apps / the cloud if needed. But still, I agree, no computer should have their storage soldered in. In the end the silver lining to it all was it pushed me to try out Linux

      Yupppp. I think these days the read-writes on the SD card are a little too slow now, but it definitely served it’s purpose. It worked great because it was flush with the frame of the laptop, and didn’t require any compromises at the time. Awww thanks 🙂

      In the desktop I got a 1tb nvme ssd, I haven’t even used half of the storage yet and there’s plenty of room for upgrading 🤣
