Ya see, I have no clue which models to be looking for. Surely some are better than others or more sought out than others, so I don't really even know which is which. Perhaps you do? Or did you just pick a random model that fit the specs you wanted?

Gotcha, that might just work because as mentioned, I've already been looking at wireless keyboards with touchpad for my smart TV and such, so then the only solution left would be a monitor. Its gotta be simple enough where I can easily move it to wherever I wanna go
Thank you! A backlit keyboard is definitely something I'd like. Was the replacement simple? Would you say its a pretty newb friendly project?
Thinkpads seem to have such a huge following, so there must be a reason...I had one briefly but lost it due to unfortunate circumstances shortly after getting it... Any who my only complaint is the appearance of them, but that's just me being petty. They LOOK like some old school type of machine and its not a nice site visually IMO lol but again, not a factor at all
So thin clients if I'm thinking right, are pretty much mini PCs too right? Its a portable computer but you need to add a display, mouse, and keyboard right? May not be too opposed then. I've already been searching for a wireless keyboard with touchpad, then just get a small display that is easily movable I could even use my smart TV too probably.
Sorta looks similar to netdata which I recently setup and holy crap is it confusing. I have no idea what to look at and what to do. Didn't realize its that tricky for a newb.
Fascinating stuff! A tad confusing lol but definitely learnable. So to me, selinux and app armor sound similar to firewalls... On the surface at least
Not a bad approach actually lol. I've pretty much done the same with virtually no backup. I never have much to save on my computers.
Great advice. Its just that I'm sorta a eager learner when it comes to tech, especially the privacy and security side and I honestly don't always know what I'm doing or I'll read the wrong guide to set things up and I end up getting lost or confused or things just straight up don't work. So I for sure have some wires crossed somewhere and some roadblocks causing issues here and there. I have recently learned more about ansible and chef and I indeed need to research. Those tools seem quite complex but hey, I'll try anyway. And as far as selinux goes, I just thought that was one of those thins that automatically comes installed and configured on every OS? Also there's app armor.... Is that in this realm of things too? Is it deemed "good" or necessary to use? Thanks
Dude no not at all, I honestly never thought of getting an old macbook. That could be a great idea. Are there generations or models that are better or worse than others? Like I wouldn't know where to start, but I suppose something with good documentation and preferably a following or community would be best.
