@codemonkeymike @matsuzine I have just put #LinuxMint on a 5-ish year old HP that wasn’t running Win10 (which it was designed for). It’s not as snazzy as my MacBook Pro but it’s definitely working great now. My only problem is Steam, which just won’t run my games on in spite of it being a Linux app.
I have a 10-ish year old ASUS I’m going to try next and I found a 25-ish year old Compaq that I won’t try it on because the rubber/silicone? parts of the case are breaking down.
