tarvalon is an all-in-one PC. I had it since 2016 and went through a lot with it. For the first year of university, I used to use when I was back at home, but then gave it to my mother.
I should include a photo here, shouldn't I?
It still works ok. However, if I went back in time, I would've got a normal PC desktop that I could upgrade, repair, et cetera for the same price. Maintenance of this device is painful.
Performance is bearable.
It came with a Windows 10 copy. I used it like twice. For some time, I dual-booted, then I removed it completely.
Operating systems that were installed on this computer are:
-
Windows 10. Pre-installed.
-
Linux Mint Cinnamon. This was the first GNU+Linux distribution I had ever tried.
-
Antergos (Arch, but easier to install). Countless desktop environments were tried on it, until I more or less settled on dwm.
-
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on XFCE. Used for a week, there was some critical problem I could not bear.
-
Linux Mint MATE. When I moved to caemlyn, I left a boring OS behind.
-
Windows 10. For the next user.
The name comes from Tar Valon from the wheel of time.
