I just set up an old P.O.S. ASUS EeePC mini notebook, going from WinXP to Mint. It has transformed into a little hot-rod! Love it!
you’ll also note that mint runs a heck of a lot quieter as well- with my windows 7, fans were always ramping up- but with linux, rarely does it happen
Just did the wife’s the other weekend. The MMC install took me 2 days (k, night and a good portion of day) to noodle through (damn Grub2 kept barfing on the LiveUSB install)
Nice to see it get some speed back, as well as 3/4 of the space. Win10 just choked the hell out of that hardware.
Now to see if she’ll actually (attempt to) learn\use-it
