You need to decide whether you want to liberate you current setup, or opt for
a new computer before I can help. Until then, here is my advice:
- To list hardware components on Trisquel, it's easier to use a graphical
tool like I-Nex.
- From what you have written, I recommend you to keep the graphic card
(GeForce 9600 GT), and probably the network card (I cannot be sure until you
provide more details).
- Do not buy any current nVidia/AMD card because all of them require the
proprietary NVIDIA/Catalyst binary driver to get an appropriate performance.
- You should also provide info about what processor and network card model
you currently have.
- Buying a new computer is useful only if you want to improve gaming
performance (you should clarify first what games are you going to play).
- The printer problem needs further investigation, and should be discussed
separately once you decided about the computer itself.
- If you wish to install Trisquel along with your current installation, this
will also need to be discussed separately since this there are many pros and
cons about this
- The choice of monitor depends on what model do you currently have, and how
you're (un)satisfied with it.
Please stop mixing other specs (the bottom one) here that has nothing to do
with this thread, because this will lead people to confusion and only make
them angry, leaving you without help. Be always exact about what you have,
and what you want. If you're not, then ask for some advice first, and only
when you decided should you go for the next topic.
