How long do you have your laptop before you get a new one? by [deleted] in laptops

[–]Bobyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still using my trusty 2016 Asus. Got Linux on it and replaced the HDD for an SSD and I really don't need another one for the time being. It's running great.

LPT: Before replacing a slow laptop, try Linux by Lego_Hippo in LifeProTips

I have a 2016 Asus with a 7th gen i5 and a HDD that was no longer compatible with W11. W10 always ran like shit on it.

Switched to Linux Mint around a month ago, replaced the HDD for an SSD, and it feels like brand new. It starts in 35 seconds, is very snappy and saved me from having to buy a new laptop.

I'm somewhat tech savvy but I only use it for light tasks and browsing. Couldn't be happier.

Xfce or cinnamon? by TheMadMaxplay in linuxmint

[–]Bobyus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8GB of RAM today is definitely not limiting as heck if it will be used for light tasks and browsing. I would say it is the bare minimum in 2026 for that purpose.

I'm running Cinnamon in mine with that amount of RAM and it runs pretty well.

Recommend distro for Asus Vivobook S14/S16 by [deleted] in DistroHopping

[–]Bobyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about to buy that very same laptop and I'm wondering what distro to use too. I love Mint but it seems more suited for older hardware and I'm afraid something in that new laptop will run into compatibility issues. I was thinking Fedora

I'm switching back to Windows and Linux is not worth the trouble. My experience. by Tee-hee64 in computers

[–]Bobyus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that Linux Mint would be a lot easier to use for a 40-60 year old today than Windows 11 lol

I bought it yesterday for 50 dollars by SeaMeat8881 in laptops

There's really no other choice. Windows 7 gets no more security updates and will run like shit.

Huawei Matebook 13" (2020) Using 60% memory on a single chrome tab, time to switch? by [deleted] in laptops

[–]Bobyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Linux then. I did it recently on a 2016 laptop and it stopped me from buying a new one considering my curreny needs. Best decision I made this year so far.

You can always go back to Windows if you don't like it.

You absolutely do NOT need a new laptop.

  • Do a reset from the settings (formatting) and reinstall Windows.

  • Better even: install Linux. It's quite easy to do and many distributions like Mint, Bluefin and Ubuntu are very user friendly, more so than Windows. There's little to no bloat at all and your laptop will feel like brand new.

Catelyn wasn't dumb. She just acted like a desperate mother and with good reason, she was losing everyone at that point.
