I threw linux on an old laptop. Lemme tell you, the thing really just flies now. Under windows the fan was constantly kicking on because of all the bloat and extra garbage running. Now, the fan only kicks on when I kick the laptop into high performance mode (keeping the clock speed maxed out).

The boot speed is also insane. There's like a 2 second boot delay from off.

It's great to know I now have a laptop that will be supported for the next 40 years. Everything works perfectly.
