Re: VPN walkthrough for Noobs?
Any VPN that you choose will have step by step installation instructions on their download page. Most, if not all, also have a live chat help desk in case you strike any problems during set up.

Re: Questions before starting with Linux
I have LM19 Cinnamon installed on a Dell 3521 with the same processor and ram and it runs perfectly well. Switching from windows to Linux Mint is a very easy learning curve, they aren't all that dissimilar to use.

Re: Show cpu core temp in conky
51C is not your correct temperature it is a placebo output. run sensors to see what your temps are named did you run sudo sensors-detect I ran sensors|grep 'Core 0'|cut -c16-22 in a terminal and the temps shown by the conky match the output from that command. It's mid winter here and the ambient te...
