Installing Linux is often far easier than installing Windows nowadays, and multiple distributions offer long-time support. It's an excellent way of getting more life out of semi-old systems.

Even if that's true, most computer users don't install Windows. It comes preinstalled. > It's an excellent way of getting more life out of semi-old systems. Maybe so, but it's not nearly as good of an option as getting continued support for your preinstalled OS.
- ecdouvhr 5y agoBoth are valid points, but you did write that Linux is harder to install and maintain. I disagree on those two points. Pre-installed with a decent support plan is hard to beat regardless if it's Windows, MacOS or something like Linux Mint.
