I found Linux because I was broke so the only laptop I could afford was a Windows 10 machine with 4GB RAM, so I looked into Linux Mint to squeeze out a more decent performance.
Similar here. But I didn't have 4GB RAM, I had 256MB. Was some years ago
in my case; my windows me desktop got messed up during an update and i could only afford the $4 for a pack of mandrake cd's.
actually, it was $4 for the magazine and the cd's were free. lol
