I have a few old laptops kicking around still. We're talking 10+ year old laptops here that weren't even top of the line when new. The differences in OS bloat between the two is night and day. The Windows 8 laptop that I swear takes 15+ minutes to boot and struggles to do simple web browsing. It reminds me of what happens to 5+ year old phones where they seem to get slower for no good reason. My linux laptops are still going strong like the day they were new.
