Does anyone know anything about customizing linux desktop machines?

I need a quiet machine, and a suitable monitor, because of my sensory issues, but I don’t know anything about customizing desktop machines. I have been looking around online, but either find nothing, or find contradictory information. I can’t find anything on which processors make too much nose and which monitors are too bright, on the minimum setting, to look at. I can find some sources saying that the AMD A6/A8/A10 series work perfectly with Linux, and other sources saying the A6/A8/A10 series don’t work at all, because of driver incompatibilities. I have found a guide to customizing a desktop, but step two involves visualizing the whole machine.

I went to the doctor's office for an appointment yesterday. I left at 11:00 and arrived at 1:00 and immediately checked in. I waited, and had a panic attack, and saw public benefits, and sorted that out. I waited some more, and had a worsening cycle of panic attacks and exhaustion, and watched my appointment time arrive, and pass, and finally, after it had passed by half an hour, and I felt like my body was burning up, and I wanted some way to escape the pain, I asked if they were having delays at 3:00 and the guy there asked me about my appointment info and told me that because it was more than 15 minutes after my appointment, I was too late and had missed my appointment. I explained that I had checked in two hours ago, and had waited there, right in front of him, as my appointment time passed. And he suggested that I could reschedule for today, and I'm past coping for the rest of the week. I can't deal with this.

I probably ought to contact the patient advocate, but I am out of spoons for the week.

I am sensory defensive, and autistic, and really have a hard time with constant noise, bright lights, and figuring out bureaucracy. I mean... I checked in, I would think that meant I had checked in, but apparently, they decided it didn't, I needed to check in again, and they say they told me, but there was a lot of noise and I didn't hear what they say they said. I nodded at something - too stressed to smile and nod - but I had no idea it was that.

Finally reach doctor's office.

Struggle with bright lights and noises.

Search for a corner to curl up in.
