Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? (endof10.org)

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

Switched about a year ago. Linux is surprisingly plug and play these days. So far installed Mint on two systems: 15 years old laptop with Nvidia GPU, 10 years old desktop with AMD GPU. Also have a new built gaming PC with Bazzite. Now I do 100% of my gaming on linux.

I dont think I used the terminal twice and everything just works. Unless you have some niche hardware switching should be a piece of cake.
