    A piece of software always runs locally. It is in some cases those who needs to communicate with the server fail to deliver the usual function you expect when offline.

    Please do not confuse one to another.

    And perhaps you can start by complaining which services you are using heavily rely on the server side? General questions attract general answers and IMHO you are better off just search on the internet.

    Want to learn? Buy a current computer (secondhand to save money) that has a blazing fast CPU, shit loads of RAM, and any AMD graphics card. Running into trouble is no fun for beginners. You’ll quickly feel depressed and lose interest.

    For the learning part, follow any distro’s official installation guide and do it step by step. Learn which part of the systems does what, and how to set it up, how to debug.

    And stick to Ethernet connection before you get comfortable. (Shitty) Wi-fi ICs more often than not have driver issues.

    For the old laptop, sell it for parts if you’re not feeling nostalgic.

    For the last time, buy a new computer, please.
