Pop_OS!
KDE Neon
Linux Mint
You will need the following:
- a USB flash drive that can hold 2GB or more

Where To Get A Linux Ready Machine
Official Community | Telegram Channel |Telegram Chat | Odysee | Hive | Minds
New users to Linux may be concerned with how well their laptops and desktops are supported - or they may not have an old PC laying around. For these users we recommend looking at machines that are renowned for running well with Linux, or are even designed for it.
In this article we'll share the models of machines that run Linux well, these machines have all been Ubuntu certified, and since the OS' we recommend are all based off of Ubuntu, everything should run out of the box.
Our Recommendations
- If you're using a computer you already have, check if it exists on the Ubuntu certified list or the Linux on Laptops reports.
- Go for a slightly older model, this gives the Linux community enough time to patch bugs on newer hardware
- If you want affordability, buy a refurbished or pre-owned laptop on a reselling site like Ebay. Your new laptop could only be a few hundred dollars only. Here's a buying guide for the Lenovo T-series.
- If you have more money to spend, you can get a laptop pre-designed pre-installed with Linux. We have included some vendors below.
Lenovo
- The X, T, and W lines are recommended, the older years have better build quality.
- Thinkpad T480
- Thinkpad T495
- Thinkpad P51
- Thinkpad X220
- Thinkpad X440
- Thinkpad T14 (newer)
Dell
- Dell XPS 13"
- Dell XPS 15"

Is The Freedom Phone Legit, Scam, Or a Honeypot?
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat
FULL DISCLOSURE: You may know that our company, Above Agency is preparing to launch its own series of phones that are pre-installed with GrapheneOS. When I saw that there was another phone announced with little details about its underlying operating system and promoted by conservative pundits, I knew I had to dig in a little more, in the case it was a scam or a honeypot.
Here's what I found:
By now you've probably heard of the Freedom Phone, a phone that has been making waves on 'conservative' channels through an advertising campaign.
Behind it is an Erik Finman, a bitcoin investor since 11 years of age,who took a $1,000 gift from grandma and invested it directly into Bitcoin. This lead to a series of investments that made him a millionaire before the age of 18. At first glance, his story is a feel-good story of a prodigal kid stumbling into fortunes, and now making his way into the phone market, but could there be something more lurking?
How did he hear about Bitcoin?
Finman said his older brother brought him to a protest following the financial crisis of 2008. He recalls running from the police and seeing a man wearing a bitcoin shirt, and then asking him what bitcoin was.
"He's like a hippie, he's like, 'Man, I think it's gonna end Wall Street, all the corruption, and all the bad things.'"
—
Interesting story there. Erik's background gets more interesting when you realize both of his parents work for the military industrial complex.
Paul and Dr. Lorna Finman met at Stanford, Lorna was a former astronaut candidate, and Paul was an electrical engineer. Lorna also was also the technical directory of Raytheon's multi-million dollar R&D program. Together, they founded LCF enterprises - winning contracts from the Department of Defense. LCF Enterprises manufacture RF amplifiers utilized in military communication, airborne and aircraft applications, jamming systems, electronic countermeasures technologies, UAV's, SATCOM and other national security measures across the globe today." (source)
More recently, Erik has worked with NASA (this program was co-sponsored by his mother) to have teenagers launch satellites into space.
I'm glad that Erik is ambitious and takes on these sorts of projects, but we can't ignore the support and government connections he has on account of his family.
Do these connections somehow extend to conservative media as well?
The American flag-branded phone was immediately promoted by a wide range of right-wing figures, including former Trump adviser Roger Stone, Jan. 6 rally organizer Ali Alexander, and pundit Dinesh D’Souza.
“I’m holding a freaking phone that is not controlled by Apple or Google,” conservative personality Candace Owens told her fans in an Instagram video. “We made the switch immediately.”
—
Somehow the conservative media picked up the phone immediately in a coordinated marketing campaign. I have the feeling this is part of the larger disinformation campaign tying the issue of freedom of speech and fight against censorship as a conservative talking point, when it is something effecting us all.
Is this a scam? Probably.
❌ No source-code auditability - the promoters that market the freedom phone can't even tell you anything about the operating system
❌ No details on specifications - no details about the phone were presented publicly, although it was discovered it was a rebranded Chinese phone
❌ Rebranded cheap hardware, a Chinese made Umidigi A9 Pro that can be purchased for $120.00
—
Whether you decide to purchase a phone from an individual, or even flash it yourself, make sure you can answer basic questions like what operating system it runs or what security features it can provide.
The people who promoted this phone exposed themselves as scammers for promoting a product they know nothing about (that no one knows anything about) and as dis-information agents for spreading the message that censorship only happens against Republicans...

I just installed Pop on an old Lifebook T which must be about 10 years old - left partition with documents on and just installed in on c drive. Very easy and quick.
