”I can fix him."
Got a 10 year old laptop that couldn’t do anything whike running Windows 10. Couldn’t install Windows 11 because no TPM chip. Was about to replace it when I thought screw it and gave Linux a go.
It now runs as smoothly as the day I got it, and am now a Linux convert.
Of course. A large part of my network infrastructure is old laptops running various Linux distros.
i’ll put linux on every laptop i can get my grubby little hands on
heh, GRUB
honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about GRUB when I sad that, but lmao it works so well
Unintended puns are the best
LILO it works so well
Define “old”.
laptops with 32x processor or bios instead of uefi
Then, no. Mine is from 2017.
It can’t run the latest FarCry smoothly.
If by “latest” you mean any of them, then yes.
how else am i supposed to use a 10yr old laptop without wanting to punch it to death?
Always! I don’t spend any money on computing devices anymore. I just collect the old laptops from my family and install arch or tumbleweed on them 😄
I’m still running LXDE on an Acer netbook I got in 2010 or so. Tiny, underpowered little thing but still has a physical NIC which is why I still love it.
“We have the technology to revive him.”
everything that isn’t my main machine runs linux. my old laptop from 10 years ago, a PC made of my old rig’s parts i use as a NAS and jellyfin server, and i almost got my brother to install linux on his thinkpad.
