	Actually though not as active as before there are several LUGs around 
the San Francisco Bay Area.  I am a member of the SF-LUG aka Linux Users 
Group.  I do not
post to the mailing list due to disagreement with the administrator of 
that list.
<http://linuxmafia.com/mailman/listinfo/sf-lug>

We are not currently having in person meetings but we meet on the 1st 
Sunday of
each month from 11 AM to 1 PM on jit.se.
<https://meet.jit.si/sf-lug.org>

Browser: one will need sufficiently recent version of, e.g. Chromium, 
Chrome, or
possibly Firefox - in any case one that well supports WebRTC.
Dial-in (audio alternative or audio only): +1.512.647.1431 PIN: 524 338 639#
physical: at the Cafe Enchante, on Geary at 26th Ave in San Francisco.

	Now it depends on the kit you are in possession of whether it will run 
Linux or perhaps not.  Alternatively there are User Forums.
	I use the PCLinuxOS distribution and we have a pretty good forum at
<https://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?>
	You will have to register to post questions but you can search it 
without registration.

	Good luck but you will have to tell us more about your hardware for
help via Usenet.  I say "us" because there are many more people here who
are much more knowledgeable about these matters than myself.  But I have
made Linux run on a variety of x86 based machines.
