I have 3 Dell Optiplex 780s [one for each of two locations and a spare] that have been updated with SSDs [they were surplus hospital data entry devices sold at ~$15 w/o a HD].
All running Linux and are able to surf just fine @ 1920x1080.
Ha. I have an eight year old Asus minitower under me running Linux Mint. Not fully configured yet, but it's on the net and purrs like a kitten. Always keep secondary and tertiary units up and running if that's what it calls for. I like Mint. I go back to the days when you had to manually load CD's, do the partitioning and command line install, and scrounge for drivers if you wanted a Linux box. With Mint, I created a bootable USB drive with RUFUS, targeted the OS download, and created a thumb drive that did all the heavy lifting for me. Even found the printer on the wifi and loaded a generic, HP-compatible print suite for me. The biggest thing I've been sandbagging on is transferring all of my profile data over to it.
Yup. I was a 20 year IT grunt. Got the certs and scars to show for it, too.
