Remake of an older meme, just to add some extra pixel.
Using a 11 years old 300β¬-laptop with 15 years old Ubuntu installation as my main private PC.
Honestly, feels more snappy than ever compared to my brand new Core-i9 2000β¬ company laptop running Microslop including an increasing amount of mandatory business and security addons...
My PC is over 20 years old. I've only needed to replace the GPU twice, motherboard/ram twice, power supply once, and am on my third hard drive.
This chonky boy is 19 this year. He has dual Xeon quad cores, and 32gb of DDR2 and a 980Ti. He streams 4K videos with ease and plays most of my Steam library. He's running Mint. And he eats about 425W while he does it.
Am I the only one with a PC of Theseus? Like the case is ancient but some of the parts are a year old
Note for second (or more) language speakers of English (and maybe a few first language folks as well): The plural 's' is omitted when a sentence fragment is turned into an adjective. It's supposed to have hyphens in it as well, though these are often left out.
So, for example, "My PC is ten years old and runs Linux" becomes "My ten-year-old PC runs Linux".
In the case of this meme, it should be "My 10-year-old PC".
I recently done a full install of Linux Mint on an old Lenovo Laptop, even with a new RAM Stick, taking it to 14GB of RAM it was still very sluggish running Windows. There was so much Windows and Lenovo bloatware it was wild. Ever since I installed Linux Mint the laptop has worked a dream - It's like a whole new machine.
I run Linux on my potato and itβs running pretty fast.
Is that Mr. Bean in the chair? If not, it should be.
