ANY linux or unix should be able to install anywhere. I like suckless stali, could be built wherever you wish sta.li/build

Claim you're transgender and crowdfund for an old ThinkPad.
Ethan Carter
you can do it exactly the same way you'd install it on a hard disk. Just remember to set grub/fstab lines to UUIDs and not simple devices names so it works anywhere.
Ryan Thompson
>me be poor
figure out a way to write logic-heavy programs on pencil/pen and paper, then implement it on the computer when you do have access
when you do have computer access write down the API calls and snippets you need to finish your work on paper
Owen Thomas
Go to work and the spend 40$ on old IBM thinkpad on which you will install linux. Problem solved
Christopher Wilson
>Ubuntu is botnet Bullshit
Maybe Mint could work too as a distro based on Ubuntu?
Also where are you from that you can't afford a computer? Even here in the eastern Europe you can get some old crappy but working computer for free if you ask around.
Zachary Watson
THIRD WORLD COUNTRY you can't just buy a thinkpad, even if you can it has locked bios
Kevin Reed
Ubuntu is in the Amazon botnet.
Nathaniel Ross
Third world country doesn't make you not going to work. Op is underage or a fucking idiot
Ethan Martin
you'll continue to live in a third world shithole if you care about trivial shit like distros. Just install whatever works and use it, or get your own machine.
Henry James
What country do you live in?
Hunter Sanders
there is nobody anywhere in the world without easy access to a computer. OP, can you receive packages by any means?
Jordan Myers
but america is a third world country :^)
Jayden Carter
Can receive a package but import taxes go through the roof here I do have access but for a limited amount of time, and only windows. thats why i want to install on a usb to use linux for that short period of time im allowed to use the laptop.

My first job was building a house of wood still I remember it as a great fun unlike my actually work as an helpdesk. And I was 17 too back then. 120$ is normal price in my country too so I do not know what are you complaining about. So at all it will make you more independent. Do anything you can to receive a cash for computer and then learn as much as you can so you would get a job in IT. Life is hard but stagnation will kill you

I would "help out" that farm-shota all day if you know what I mean

Try arch anywhere. It's a simple arch installation
