It’s a double edged sword. The computer at this point is 7 years old and had slowed down (planned obsolescence). It’s not exactly going to be anything like a new computer. And Linux for that is perfectly fine for everyday tasks and what you can get from a 7 year old computer before the ARM chips entered the scene. On the other hand if you did buy a new computer you’d probably get to run the latest windows and macOS versions running perfectly fine in which case he’s probably complaining about how bad Microsoft and Apple have gotten over the years which is why he’s giving Linux a try in the first place. It feels like the author entered with the bias of complaining and frustration no matter what by comparing a weakness with others strength.
