I've been installing as many distros as I can on an old laptop of mine. After about three operating systems, Grub starts imploding. I've topped out at 4. Is there an alternative to Grub that I can use to fix this?
Depends on the use case. An i5 is good for low-mid level games/graphics. The i7 is good for mid-high level games/graphics. Or you could go for the i9 which is slightly overkill for most users.
