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.

I installed Mint xfce on my landlord’s low-end laptop and some time later Mint Cinnamon on my wife’s 2016 Lenovo which was starting to show the typical signs. Great experience for both of them. I mean, the laptops work, which is the least you should expect from something you paid 600 bucks for

It’s the only thing keeping my 08 Asus going RN. Lil bastard can’t die on me. I won’t allow it

Underwaterbob ,

Yes! I slapped Lubuntu on an HP Stream 13 not long ago. Works like a charm.

I install linux in my only laptop

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 😄

Not a laptop, but I had an old motherboard from over 20 years ago not doing anything. Screwed it to a board on the wall of my shop. Added an old hard drive and some components out of the same old box it was in, and now have it running Mint. Found an old wifi card that works too, so I can look up parts and repair videos while I’m working on projects. Works great.

I have Linux running on an Acer c710 laptop with an SSD duct-taped in the case. It just won’t die.

Of course! And not even just laptops, I like to test/install Linux on about anything possible… I must know the answer to “Will it Linux?”.

SpikesOtherDog ,

Anything I use exclusively runs Linux.

Hardware I pass down runs Linux.

The family computer runs Linux.

Kids school laptops and wife laptop run Windows.

laurelraven ,

You mean you haven’t set up a PXE Boot auto installer for non Linux machines connecting to your network to be automatically upgraded yet?

SpikesOtherDog ,

How dare you threaten me with a good time.

Petter1 ,

You have some work pending in that case😂 at least 2 PCs in your house need an upgrade
