I have to agree with you here. There was pressure to buy new hardware every two or three years back in the 90s, but hardware nowadays easily goes a decade with the original operating system on it. However, Windows in that time will become unbearably slow for most users since they usually have no idea how to maintain it. Linux, for its part, will be just as fast ten years down the line as it was on day one. -- CrudeSausage Gab: @CrudeSausage Telegram: @CrudeSausage Unapologetic paleoconservative KDE supporting member ASUS Zephyrus GA401QM on Manjaro
