That is about 10 times, more powerful, than the computer I am typing this from, using Fossapup64 9.5

I do everything you do except VHS 2 digital conversion.

Best answer is, how does it compare to what you now use, for a computer?

I say it should provide what you want.

A quick look at the motherboard I think is in this computer.
Do not see any M2 connector for hooking up an M2 drive.

VHS 2 digital conversion?

Fossapup64 is Ubuntu Fossa Focal compatible. This is a link to the discussion on Ubuntu. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2465422. Note, the criticism that the response was "US-Centric".

I'd criticize the discussion as being microscopic. I had to increase the 'zoom' 4 time to read it.

This post may also be useful. It provides a recipe for using ffmpeg. https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index. ... 16541.html

thx,

it's better that the T3800 i have, which keeps freezing with cpu overloading.

i assume there's no dedicated gpu card? its all on mobo?

The Intel graphics hardware is integrated in the i5-6500T processor.

But according to the specs, it seems to be a high end graphics capable.

it's better than the T3800 i have

That is not enough info, to find any specs on, to compare.
I assume this is a computer brand model?

The Dell Vestor 260's support the Ubuntu 20 operating system to the point that even the computer's bios can be updated using it. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us ... ostro-260s
