@benbradley@hachyderm.io @Endof10@floss.social it's good to circulate these experiences. Mine is getting a bit old. I moved from XP to Ubuntu in 2005, and the same machine clocked in at 7x faster, as measured by the build I was frequently running. Never looked back. I convinced Mrs to move when XP support stopped. She's now happy on Lubuntu, which is closer to XPs look & feel.

@benbradley@hachyderm.io @Endof10@floss.social Have done the same for several people, including my wife.

@benbradley@hachyderm.io @Endof10@floss.social Fair play for installing Mint. Why was the laptop heading to scrap?

@benbradley@hachyderm.io @Endof10@floss.social I'm currently installing Fedora with KDE and Cinnamon for partner's User Acceptance Testing in lead up to Win10 ending support. The UAT laptop is 13 years old and runs things very nicely. The production laptop is 2017 so will be even better. I run Mint Cinnamon on my desktop, but have found Fedora runs better on my laptops. Much of a muchness between them though.
