From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would love to buy an AMD, but I can't afford it, so I'm stuck with the Nvidia I have.
It. blows.
Find something used. If you have Facebook, see the market place. I don't have Facebook, my wife does, and I always find great deals on it. Bought me a Dell 27" 4 monitor for $80. That thing is used $275 used on Amazon. If no Facebook, then try eBay. Used is not that bad most of the time.
No, seriously, when I say I can't afford it, I mean I really can't afford it. Like, seriously, my "Fun" budget for each month? 15 dollars. Lol. I'm brooooooooke as fuck, bruh.
Oh damn, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Well then do whatever gets you going.
Hey it's cool. Like you said, you didn't know.
And it'll be fine, one way or another. I do what I can. ¯\('_')/¯
ebay seems to just be a place for scammers and people selling used items for new prices.
I've actually noticed that, too, but you can still run into good things, although very rarely.
