New to this forum but not to LInux

Post by Jatix »

Hi everyone.

I'm Jani, 42 years old. I have been using Linux since 2005 when i got rid of XP and installed Ubuntu. I have been hooked since then and i have tried many different flavours of Linux, I recently got my hand on a refurbished HP Elitebook 8640p with 16Gb of Ram and a AMD Radeon HD 6470 M.

I thought long and hard which flavour to install. I'm a huge fan of Cinnamon so i decided for Mint and i haven't regretted it for a moment. I haven't had any major issues except for the finger print scanner not working, but i will try to figure it out at some point.

I'm fluent in Swedish, Finnish and English. Although my grammar sucks sometimes. :mrgreen:

I vape and i run a vaping group and i also listen to metal.

Sorry for the wall of text and if you made it this far......thanks for reading.

Welcome Jani!

I have the HP EliteBook 8460p, but haven't seen your 8640p. Are there any differences?

Mine also has a fingerprint reader, but I purposely haven't tried to get it working.

Good luck!

Hi Jerry, thanks for the welcome.

My laptop is actually a 8460p, It is a typo and i blame it on the lack off caffeine. :mrgreen:
