Re: [Trisquel-users] How can I check for compatibility before purchasing a new computer?

Hi. Basically what you want to check is the GPU and the wifi adapter. The  
wifi adapter better be an Atheros AR9xxx or AR5xxx series. The GPU must not,  
and I repeat, **must not** be an ATI. All Intel GPUs older than Skylake will  
do perfectly fine. Most Nvidia GPUs (I have 0 experience personally with  
those though) AFAIK should work decently.

If you set up a live trisquel usb stick you can just ask the store-dood if  
you can try it and see if it works, and if he says yes then check if there is  
wifi signal and write in a terminal **glxinfo | grep rendering** and if the  
output says "yes" it means you are golden.
