Yeah!! I haven't had any trouble with it yet, my laptop has only one SSD slot which is why I did it on the same one. I just switch when I boot up. I have the Windows one just in case I can't get a game to run and to access my work's shared drive (absolutely cannot figure it out on Linux lol)

Lots of Linux distributions are specifically built for older laptops! And all of them tend to run pretty well on lower end equipment. Here's a list that also mentions the specs needed for each one: https://linuxsimply.com/best-linux-distros-for-old-laptops/

Linux Mint, probably the most popular one on all computers nowadays regardless of specs, has a minimum RAM requirement of 2GB with 4GB recommended :) they make Linux distros for old tiny Raspberry Pi computers so even if your computer is a hundred years old you'll probably be able to run TinyCore on it at least

Teams has decided it won't recognise like 50% of word docs anymore. So you can no longer edit them within teams and have to download them. If you simply read and scroll down it, the scroll glitches so bad for no reason. Ugh

Copying my response from above for u!

I've been using Zotero since I converted a few weeks back. It has some really useful plugins, so I would recommend adding this one first- it's like a store where you can easily browse and add them :))

I've using using it with Obsidian (there's a short guide you can find online), so while I'm writing an essay in Obsidian I can just hit a key shortcut and it lists every paper I've saved to Zotero. Then when I click one, it adds the citation!

I switched for the first time a few weeks ago!! I didn't realise until I booted my Windows partition earlier for work that I hadn't used it one single time since I did that because it was still open on the download page and forced a hundred updates on me 😅 it's really fun and freeing, I've tried a few and settled on Pop!_OS because I love the simplicity, the pretty desktop environment and the window tiling

Crazy that there's pretty much nothing we can fully trust as consumers 🥲

I like Floorp but i have no idea how much more/less private it is. I just like customising it

Genuinely shocking to live in a world rn where the UK (where I live) is better on trans stuff than the US. A couple years ago I would have felt safer over there, at least in some states. I hope things get better for u lot
