It is amazing to me how often I'll be presented with some old PC, some Optiplex or Ideapad or some other corporate/consumer sludge box that handles Windows 10 or 11 the way the human digestive system handles wet concrete, put Linux Mint on it and now it feels like my $2000 gaming PC until you really load it.
