A while back, I purchased a cheap windows 11 home laptop. It is an HP and specs are very bad.
Windows 11 Home
1366x768 resolution
Intel Celeron N4120
4 GB ddr4-2400 MHz
64 GB emmc
Intel UHD Graphics 600
This windows laptop is very slow when you open chrome tabs. I bought it a while back because I wanted a cheap laptop because I needed another laptop to to do a few things. But if you want to use this laptop even as an entertainment laptop, it is way too slow.
Now I want to get another chromebook because my old chromebook that I use no longer has any more auto updates, but screen has issues, keyboard issues and all that. However, what about turning this slow windows 11 hp laptop into a linux and use it as a chromebook. Would that work or not? Could I always go back to Windows 11 Home in the future?
I check online and you are suppose to go to the linuxmint site. Download linux mint cinnamon? The confusing thing here seems to be after you download it, you need to use rufus to boot it? So you have to download several programs to do this process?
I checked youtube and these instructions are either a bit complicated or outdated because there are using older version. Is there any recent tutorial whether online or youtube that has a linuxmint install that isn't confusing?
