Already done! My wife’s former Win10 laptop, which was bogging down ludicrously, has been humming along on Ubuntu for months. I use it to run my in-person D&D sessions. Touchpad is a little iffy, probably crudded up inside, so I just added a mouse. Could try to clean it out but I like a mouse better anyway.

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.

FoxOS - coming soon?

Speaking of a chromebook experience, installing ChromeOS Flex on my wife’s slow, outdated Surface Pro made it sleek and fast again. Can you suggest a Linux distro that would be similar on old laptops?

As a retired software dev, for me Windows is simply a longtime habit enforced by past work environments. I did use Linux for over a year on my main PC but went back to Windows so I could keep using my old copy of Visual Studio. My deeply conditioned shortcut keystrokes didn’t work in VSCode - in fact, why did they change so much of the UI? But now that I’m used to VSCode, which I only use for hobby coding anyway, there’s no excuse and I intend to go back to Linux by year end.
