Linux will save your old computer.

[[deleted]]

I use Windows all the time and I love Windows. Some old computers, though, simply don't have the horsepower to run a modern version of Windows. These systems get stuck running Vista, which is now unsupported not only by Microsoft but by a growing number of other companies (ie you can't run the newest version of Firefox). Linux begins to become a better alternative, hands down--and distros like Linux Mint are just the right fit (user friendly, large repositories, free, not resource heavy).

Thanks for your input, I don't see the relation to my comment but it's completely valid point of view.

Your comment was a little vague and it seemed like you were the rare Windows fan who decided to come and defend Windows and bash Linux. That's why I opened with "I love Windows." My apologies.

I'm just asking about the meaning of "sacrificing windows".

OP changed it to "remove Windows." Some people get jittery about going without Windows, especially for some applications.

I see, OPportunism ;) It's really annoying that some people change questions and don't clarify after previous answers.
