Re: [orca-list] Mini PCs with linux?

Hi Kyle,

I guess you posted a longer time ago about your experience with those

how happy are you with the performance?
office work, e-mail, web browsing and playing music i guess those things
could be done on those using a gnome desktop, LibreOffice, Firefox and
Thunderbird?

Greetings,
Simon
