Give us the specs for the computer, JA
(Wizard appears in a puff of smoke)
I'm away from my Linux computer, but as I recall, it has an AMD processor (2800) and at least a gig of ram, possibly two. I put it together some years back, but it's been in storage since the fall of 2015.
I live in Hawaii, so moving here is a good idea, at least in my opinion (especially if you live in the Midwest or the East coast). I found a shop in Kailua Kona (west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii). I thought all shops would do that, but what did I know.
I found a free PDF Linux book online that should answer a lot of my questions, although I doubt that I'll be much of a trouble shooter.
G'day and welcome to linux.org
At Terminal
will tell us all we need to know on it, for now, and preserves your privacy if you are using Wifi (filtered out).
I am pleasantly surprised you
found a shop that installed Linux
. Where do
you live? We'll all move there and become neighbours.
Cheers
