PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?
That’s not what Linux is at all. One of the main advantages of Linux is it can run on bad PCs, look up Raspberri Pis that have 4GB RAM and function flawlessly with Linux(I have one).
It can literally resurrect 10 year old computers.
I’ve got a 14-year-old Toshiba that I used in college that runs a weird variant of Ubuntu called Kumander (it’s designed specifically to look and feel like Windows 7, which I think is properly nostalgic for the hardware). As long as you don’t expect the battery to last more than an hour (which about par for the course for a laptop from then) it’s perfectly serviceable as a SOHO-type machine.
Also it can double as a self-defense weapon cause it weighs like 10 lbs.
Mint runs fine on a very old 1GB netbook I recently unearthed.
My 2014 Mac mini server is running Mint. All in all it’s a really nice setup.
Oh, and a 2011 mini that I use to give induction presentations at work.
Bro I know computers with 4GB RAM running Win 11 just fine
Brother, at that point just put the computer down. Let it go to heaven.
Thats a computer for our class that our professor uses to show slides on the board
