Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.

Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.

    Personally, I prefer installation via the package manager… Saves some steps and I’ve not had a problem using this procedure since the 90’s…

    AppImage is fine and all but there are some extra steps required to have that “app” appear in the OS menu and such…

    And, as an old fuck, I’m not fond of referring to the software installed on my computer as “app”. It’s “software” or “a program”.

    And, yes. Phone is also a computer and “app” is the appropriate word usage on that platform…

    I know. Semantics. But it’s what I’m used to.

    Used ThinkPad’s are pretty common on Ebay.

    They’re what I use. Also with Debian.

    “Recent” is a factor of how much you’re willing to shell out.

    $300.00USD will get you a good Debian compatible box. You may want to then replace the battery and/or add RAM. Those are both found inexpensively also.
