Users have been opting for laptops over desktop computers for a long time. The comfort offered by laptops, which we can use from the sofa and in any room in the house, is helping us make up our minds. But desktop computers still have their meaning, of course, and options such as the Free Mini, a mini computer from a company famous, among other things, for making Linux operating system devices such as the telephone purist 5.
Most desktop computers are large, more specifically their tower, so we cannot take them anywhere. In addition, they also force us to use a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse, so they are not as comfortable to use as laptops. The small size is one of the reasons for being the Librem Mini, a computer that has good components despite having some dimensions less than 13cm wide and 4 high.

For 100 u $ s more you buy a Mac mini and put Linux on it;) Windows or you leave the Mac. I would recommend inserting them should or opensuse but everyone chooses :)
Remember that we are talking about systems with open source drivers.
It is true that you can buy cheaper ones, but it is almost a fact that you will have to use proprietary controllers and that is the difference for those who do not know.

It is true that you can buy cheaper ones, but it is almost a fact that you will have to use proprietary controllers.
And for those who do not know, using only open source software is not easy, not free, not cheap.
That is why having a 100% open source Smartphone is so expensive, the proprietary components are much cheaper and up-to-date.
It is very expensive, with that I can buy a dell laptop and install linux on it
