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!

Been using linux exclusively for at least 5 years, as the main OS for 10 years. The only time I remember the graphics driver breaking by itself, without me trying to do something dumb, was some 8 years ago with Ubuntu. This is not a problem anymore, with either Debian- or Arch-based distros.
