I was just given a newer but used pc (notebook) laptop with windows 360 on it. It was horrible! This thing only has 4 gigs of memory and 125g harddrive and slow as mud. Even thee builtin mouse didn’t act right. Windows tends to be a hog in every way. So, I dumped it, found a version of linux that I like and it works like a champ! The difference is amazing.

Don’t throw your computer away just because the operating system gets old. Just put a more secure OS onn it. Linux is free and it is supported for 5 years. The new os to update is free, and the next one is free and so on.

You will feel like you have a brand new computer! Its customisable and theres hundreds of new softwares available ..free...for it.

Linux mint is most like windows and their offfice suite works with windows office suite.

Sometimes there are hardware issues like the sound not working for example. They will look at the system report and yell you wat to do to fix it. Free.

Linux is the base operating software on your cell phone. The companies then custonize it for their needs. It’s a good operating system.

There’s a learning curve, but windows has a learning curve too if you aren’t already used to it. My linux mint is laid out like windows used to be..with a home button and access to all your softwares.

If you want a new softwate, you just browes the sòftware store, select and push the install button. Just like the app store on your phone.

If you have a samsung phone, you plug it into your pc, and the pc will automatically detect your connection and you are on line!

All I know is that I took a slow laptop and made it work right with a more secure os. I don’t even need a virus scanner. It’s built in and also has a firewall you can turn on.

Don’t throw away your pc or laptop. Wipe windows, install linux, and give it to somrone in need, for free.
