    That makes sense, but remember that security patches are backported to old kernels for quite a long time. Therefore, using an LTS release of Linux should extend a computer’s life longer than Windows.

      What in the world are yall running machines this old for? Literally a $50 modern computer would be an improvement, and would likely more than quarter the energy requirement.

      Just because you can still run 20 year old hardware, doesn’t mean you should.

        I’m not running anything old, just kinda trolling a bit and being an annoyance about Linux.
