I started using Linux on my rather old laptop. Now I even use it on my modern gaming rig. (It's already one year ago, when I bought it. It's a bit older, but still modern)
Haven't bought a new laptop in 15 years now. I buy 2nd hand laptops that people thinks are to slow for Windows, install Linux and I have a lightning fast laptop for pocket change.

Unpopular opinion but having a windows 7 laptop has come in handy for me a lot of time. I have dual booted it with win7 and lubuntu. The most epic combo.
@@carlosm.sierra1465 Because the "supported versions" doesn't really have anything more than minor UI changes and load of bloatware? The biggest downside of windows 7 is the lack of directx12, other than that it's pretty fine. As I said I just have a laptop with Win7, its not my primary system.
I use Linux on my 2018 laptop, Windows 10 on my desktop, and Vista for a 2000s setup on my old PC. Actually runs pretty nice on my laptop, but Vista on an old machine from around 2008 is actually really useful, especially with Mypal browsing + extended kernel. I used Linux on it for a while, but it was a bit unnatural.
I've put Linux on a whole slew of different older PC's. I started by learning Linux with Zorin OS. I just recently migrated over to Linux Mint. Mint, with its MATE desktop feels generations beyond Zorin. I now have a 4,1 generation MacBook and a Lenovo SL510 running Mint. their both fantastic. The one little issue is that Mint does not have driver/firmware for the Apple iSight camera. A cheap external 640x480 resolution webcam from Five Below works perfectly. Cheers to all the staff at Mint.
That Apple camera is their proprietary hardware, so there are no drivers available from the makers. There were drivers for some of the older cameras. I had everything working on my MacBook Pro from 2014 except the camera. The Ethernet adapters did have to be attached when booting if you wanted to use them though.
My wife's computer has a Ryzen CPU and 16Gb of RAM and was sluggish with Windows 11 on, and it had only received updates, no new software installed on it. So I installed fedora 40 workstation and it's incredibly snappy now, so much so that I could even run a VB on it for her
Using Debian now it's almost 1 month prior to that as an cyber security enthusiasts I used to use Parrot OS and even prior to that, Fedora... So it's might be 1 year since I'm using Linux. So based on this 1 year experience I can boldly say Linus Torvalds is a Legend🎉
@ismail_120what the fu- 1. .exe files are exectuables compiled to run on windows, so they don't run on any other OS. 2. Linux (and every other unix based system) does have executables, and they don't have an extension. So instead of "chrome.exe", it would just be "chrome" 3. .exe files can be ran using a compatibility tool such as wine or proton. This works very well with games, but not the best with apps. 4. Drivers were an issue before maybe but now-a-days most work just fine out of the box. The only thing you might have problems with is some dedicated professional hardware that doesn't support linux. (Also nvidia drivers are russian roulete. It might work flawlessly or it might make the system unusable, but most of the time it will be alright) Just sharing some knowledge
@ismail_120I have focusrite 8i6 and if i need to work with audio, I'm switching to windows. Also you can create Windows VM and passthrough your audio card to that VM and set it up there.
It's always a percentage of usage though. On my laptop with 8 GB of RAM idle usage on a fresh install of W11 is about 1.3 GB, on my PC with 48 GB it's about 5-6 GB. Outrageous still. Linux with Cinnamon uses half a gig max.
it's a percentage because the memory is basically free and is only being used for caching. Windows caches things that you frequently use in that memory, but if you launch or do something that actually needs that memory, then you will have most of it. Remember people, unused RAM is RAM that is doing nothing. Just because a system has more free RAM, does not mean it actually uses less memory. In truth, most memory usage is dictated by the apps you use rather than the OS (though for Linux your desktop environment choice might impact this a lot). In reality Windows 11 by itself only uses ~2 gigs of RAM. Which is the same amount of memory usage I see on my Kubuntu 23.10 laptop with 8 gigs of RAM. And even for the "CPU cycles" front, Windows is not really inefficient, best case you would see 10-20% better performance on Linux, though in many cases it will be a margin of error difference and in some cases it will be in Windows' favor.
@@lycanthossLinux also caches things in ram, like windows. Windows does not, like Linux, count cached data for memory usage. Windows uses more ram. Way more ram.

hats up to you, I only have a Celeron laptop and could only use Windows 7 but when I installed Linux I started to get disgusted when using Windows 😅, too much loading times, slow, too much resource usage "A computer is like an air conditioner, it becomes useless when you open Windows" -A wise man

surf shark is comparing windows 11 to a very specific lightweight linux distro. Like that's not even fair, it should at least go against what it was running back then. Like what, windows 7? And that's coming from a guy who loves linux and hates windows.
@@thev01d85 Is Window 7 still be supported by Microsoft to this day? No. Linux does. So it's not fair to compare one be drop to the one still updated on time
@@kuroshin7685 Seconded, Lubuntu is a maintained operating system, and the Linux kernel will support that laptop's hardware for a LONG time. It only recently has dropped support for 486 processors, which were released in 1989. Needless to say Linux just makes sense for older devices, since they're older they will have much better, more mature, driver support and unlike other OS's, Lubuntu, and for that matter most other distros, don't worry about adding uncessessary new features that simply bloat the OS. Rather focusing on and iterating on existing designs. KDE, XFCE, and GNOME won't completely revamp their interface without VERY good reason to. Instead focusing on stability improvements and new features. Windows WILL ALWAYS change their UI EVERY version, because it is expected they do... for some reason. Linux desktop environments focusing on IMPROVING what already exists, instead of just... revamping it.
ive started using linux after watching mr robots, it was an old asus eee pc netbook with peppermint then i dived too deep in the iceberg, now ever laptops ive bought i instantly swapped for linux distro
Yes. Trying to learn programming and i bought a $150 windows 11. After I disabled S mode task manager says cpu is pinned at 100% and memory is 3.8 of 4gb. I’ve since bought a better laptop and am trying to bring the cheap one back from the dead with Linux
For begginers i reccomend Mint with default Cinnamon DE (Desktop Enviroment) I reccomend Linux when you don't do specjalist work that needs Windows software, like audio or video, There is no Adobe in Linux. If you want to learn programming, Linux is a great choice as most programmers use Linux or MacOS
Same story, started using Linux on my old workstation as a lower alternative some years ago, and never looked back since. Now I use Arch on my new gaming rig for a multitude of tasks... Although I still use windows in a VM for video editing and some games
If I had a pc with: Intel core i9-13900ks 128gb ram And a rtx4090 I would still install Linux on it EDIT: i accidentally started world war 3 in the replies
Been using Garuda linux on my gaming rig, but I just repurposed an old Windows 7/8 era Dell laptop using a minimalistic Arch install and qtile for the window management. It's now living a second life as a multi-player BeamNG server host!
I actually have a 13yr old lenovo laptop with some Celeron N1000 (i guess). And I LOVE dual systems. Main Lubuntu and secondary Windows 8.1, which is still supported by many apps and is light - it runs perfectly, I played Minecraft 1.8.9 on it on minimal graphics and 60fps was no problem.
I exclusively use Linux as I don't want spyware on my PC. Yes, Win11 is spyware that calls itself an operating system. Also, the Unity desktop (Ubuntu Unity) was known for being heavy - but it revived my old iMac (from 2017) so it takes 3 instead of 300 seconds to start Firefox, for example.
I'm over here with a 2012 MacBook Pro. Apple doesn't officially support it anymore, but Linux brought the thing to like and it will now be supported for almost forever.
I brought my old 2013 MacBook Air back to life with Linux Mint Mate (a bit lighter weight than Cinnamon). The only downside in the beginning was battery life suffered until I installed tlp and tlpui. Now I love it, and I use it more than my Surface Laptop 4 with Windows 11 and my Mac desktop. They are all fast and work well, but Linux is more fun.
simple. download the iso file, use a tool like rufus and get a usb stick and flash the file to it usihg the tool, then boot into the boot menu, select the usb stick, run through the setup and youre good to go
Yes of course, I already have an old laptop I bought on eBay around $200 and installed Linux mint on it, runs well, it has an old battery in it that's not holding charge as well was lucky to get 1 hour and half battery life out of it running windows but now with Linux mint MATE edition it gets about 3 and half hours battery life, tempted to try Linux mint xfce or maybe Manjaro xfce to see if battery life is expanded even more, I'm gonna start experimenting with Linux more on some older PC towers I have, some I inherited, some I might give away to a friend or the neighbor because I would love to see more Linux users.
My mom's age-of-consent old laptop struggled to run windows XP of all things, then installed Lubuntu and it's somewhat usable now. Could be that the hard drive is borked, gonna swap it with a new SSD and see what happens
If it ever needs a newer model of laptop, best grab a Dell XPS 9370, it's about 300 usd now, but once that laptop kicks the bucket, probably will be way cheaper than 300
I'm really into gpu programming and for so long windows kept holding me back from actually experiencing the beauty of it, even since I switched to linux I've been able to perform much better and learn more and have fun
Tried Linux Mint on my old Asus Laptop for the very first time and it turns out to be interesting, but I'm still familiarizing and exploring LM features!
I use windows as my main OS because I like to play videogames, but I used to dual-boot my main PC to Ubuntu 20 and one of the first things I install on any new device is WSL because linux is just cool. I even found a bash emulator for my phone!
Im also using lubuntu (specifically lubuntu 22.04 LTS) on my 8 year old HP laptop because it ran slower than a snail, upgraded it from 4 gb of ram to 6 and it runs better than ever. Would highly recommend to anyone with an old pc or laggy laptop.
I don't have the charger for my old laptop. I used a vm for some reason. Adding problems that was supposed to be the solution into a problem that needs solutions
Not an old pc but decided to install Zorin on my slowing down Windows gaming laptop and it works like a charm. Games work great (Proton compatibility layer is near perfect), and programs have never launched faster. If your pc is slow, try a Linux distro.
You can also choose something like antiX, or if you are fancy, use Arch with fluxbox, or if you feel even fancier and are willing to wait until the heat death of the universe, then compile Gentoo on it.
Installed linux mint on 6 year old Delta laptop. The requirements hardware, hardware wise, to use windows 11 is a joke. I am running mint beside windows 10. I started making the required changes i.e partitions and et . I had some questions and saw the "install button on down loaded folder. I hit the button and mint made the changes and loaded the operating system. Mint is faster then Windows and comes with about everything I need for home use and work related tasks. I loaded wine so I could operate windows programs. I have not had the need drag any over programs. Very impressed. I wager that I will be busy putting the system on family and friends machines.
I’m using an XPS DELL 9730 (i7, 32ram and NVME) It feels bitter smooth experience with Kubuntu and I’m also playing STREET FIGHTER 6 on steam very nice. I put windows 11 in a VM for those adobe apps and that’s it 😅
Have an old laptop Intel N4000, 4gb ram, 240gb ssd and install it with xubuntu. Its still used to code java with Eclipse & Netbeans. Totally works, man. 🎉
I'm a Linux Mint, Ubuntu and BOSS User... Which are all Ubuntu and Debian based. Linux is a little bit tough as I was a windows user for a long time. But it is also customizable and its user interface is good.
I daily drive Fedora KDE, however, I sometimes try other distros. It's perfect, runs all the apps I use and, what's more, no Microsoft spyware and bloatware! And it's free too! It might be a bit of a learning curve for some people, but it has gotten a lot more simple over the years.
I run PiHole on a raspberry pi to get rid of ads, installed OpenMediaVault on a pc from the street as my NAS and a custom version of Ubuntu (kde desktop with Wayland) on my daily laptop and android on my smartphone (yes, that's actually driven by some form of the Linux kernel)

I'm going to try installing Linux on one of them and see how it goes. Never used it before and figured this would be a good way to try.
Even on my i7 10th gen desktop 16 GB ram I use Linux just for gaming 😊
hats up to you, I only have a Celeron laptop and could only use Windows 7 but when I installed Linux I started to get disgusted when using Windows 😅, too much loading times, slow, too much resource usage

This thing is messed up
@@MODEH7I have a intel celeron laptop too it runs windows 10 just like my turtle it has only 4gb ram and I barely can watch TH-cam
Even worse this is my daily driver (pls help me)
But I got it for 60€

Surfshark suddenly becomes based
surf shark is comparing windows 11 to a very specific lightweight linux distro.
Like that's not even fair, it should at least go against what it was running back then.
Like what, windows 7?
And that's coming from a guy who loves linux and hates windows.
@@thev01d85 lightweight linux distro can do same things as windows 11 and even more
@@thev01d85hey even standard fedora or Ubuntu use less than half the amount of ram and storage as win 10. Not even talking about win 11
@@thev01d85 Is Window 7 still be supported by Microsoft to this day? No. Linux does. So it's not fair to compare one be drop to the one still updated on time
@@kuroshin7685 Seconded, Lubuntu is a maintained operating system, and the Linux kernel will support that laptop's hardware for a LONG time. It only recently has dropped support for 486 processors, which were released in 1989.
Needless to say Linux just makes sense for older devices, since they're older they will have much better, more mature, driver support and unlike other OS's, Lubuntu, and for that matter most other distros, don't worry about adding uncessessary new features that simply bloat the OS. Rather focusing on and iterating on existing designs. KDE, XFCE, and GNOME won't completely revamp their interface without VERY good reason to. Instead focusing on stability improvements and new features.
Windows WILL ALWAYS change their UI EVERY version, because it is expected they do... for some reason. Linux desktop environments focusing on IMPROVING what already exists, instead of just... revamping it.
ive started using linux after watching mr robots, it was an old asus eee pc netbook with peppermint then i dived too deep in the iceberg, now ever laptops ive bought i instantly swapped for linux distro
Remember that the first versions of eee laptops shipped with Arch Linux out of the box.
@@My-noname looking back, i thought it was one of the best cheap laptop, but 32 bit is such a dealbraker even for that time
Lol I just got a Asus Vivobook laptop a while back, and I didn't even give it a chance to boot into Windows.
@@chitan1362 might aswell request the store to remove any OS before shipping
@@herald1953 If only that were an option. Only brands I know that does that is Framework and System76.
Yes! That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
I use a ThinkPad as my daily driver with Arch and KDE. W520, from 12 years ago. With Coreboot as BIOS and 3rd gen CPU upgrade too!
I recommend Mint+XFCE for old and news PCs.
I think that from last updates it's not that lightweight anymore
New pc I would recommend Garuda linux (arch made super easy) and old pc I would recommend sparky linux+xfce/lxqt
I would recommend MX for older ones or Nobara/Mint for new ones
Linux lite works great on my laptop. Also the Kubuntu disco works great too.
Kubuntu disco is EOL. Install a new release.
The thing with me is I would recommend a non systemd distro for hardware purposes.
Can you tell me the details? I m new to linux
I thought people dislike it mainly bc of security and bloat, why is that a problem for hardware purposes?
I installed LMDE on my 12 years old laptop and it works like a charm!
Yup running Linux Mint on my 1st gen i3 laptop.
Still kicks ass and still allows me to watch 1080p smoothly on TH-cam.
Yes. Trying to learn programming and i bought a $150 windows 11. After I disabled S mode task manager says cpu is pinned at 100% and memory is 3.8 of 4gb. I’ve since bought a better laptop and am trying to bring the cheap one back from the dead with Linux
Microsoft lost a customer at my house. Linux 22 Cinnamon ran them off.
For begginers i reccomend Mint with default Cinnamon DE (Desktop Enviroment) I reccomend Linux when you don't do specjalist work that needs Windows software, like audio or video, There is no Adobe in Linux. If you want to learn programming, Linux is a great choice as most programmers use Linux or MacOS
I agree but I also feel that adobe should be avoided as much as possible. It’s nearly worth the subscription even if it’s the “industry standard”
As a beginner, i can confirm that Mint with Cinammon was easy to get used to. For games just use wine or proton.
Same story, started using Linux on my old workstation as a lower alternative some years ago, and never looked back since.
Now I use Arch on my new gaming rig for a multitude of tasks... Although I still use windows in a VM for video editing and some games
I use Linux even on my new devices, you have no idea how happy it makes me that all these tech creators are now making linux videos
If I had a pc with:
Intel core i9-13900ks
128gb ram
And a rtx4090
I would still install Linux on it

How bout COD Warzone or GTA Online?
GTA V can run on Linux, I saw it a few times running on Arch
I don't have either of those games @@BarrelTitor91
Been using Garuda linux on my gaming rig, but I just repurposed an old Windows 7/8 era Dell laptop using a minimalistic Arch install and qtile for the window management. It's now living a second life as a multi-player BeamNG server host!
I actually have a 13yr old lenovo laptop with some Celeron N1000 (i guess). And I LOVE dual systems. Main Lubuntu and secondary Windows 8.1, which is still supported by many apps and is light - it runs perfectly, I played Minecraft 1.8.9 on it on minimal graphics and 60fps was no problem.
Sounds great
I exclusively use Linux as I don't want spyware on my PC. Yes, Win11 is spyware that calls itself an operating system. Also, the Unity desktop (Ubuntu Unity) was known for being heavy - but it revived my old iMac (from 2017) so it takes 3 instead of 300 seconds to start Firefox, for example.
I'm over here with a 2012 MacBook Pro. Apple doesn't officially support it anymore, but Linux brought the thing to like and it will now be supported for almost forever.
You are right. Windows 11 is spyware.
Already did, how do you think I am watching this video? :D HP ProBook 6560b running Lubuntu 23.04

Time to switch my old pc to Linux.. Thanks bro for the info.. 😊
I brought my old 2013 MacBook Air back to life with Linux Mint Mate (a bit lighter weight than Cinnamon). The only downside in the beginning was battery life suffered until I installed tlp and tlpui. Now I love it, and I use it more than my Surface Laptop 4 with Windows 11 and my Mac desktop. They are all fast and work well, but Linux is more fun.
We need tutorial on that my g
simple. download the iso file, use a tool like rufus and get a usb stick and flash the file to it usihg the tool, then boot into the boot menu, select the usb stick, run through the setup and youre good to go

Is there a Linux interface that works with touch screen?
As far as I‘m aware hyprland has touchscreen support out of the box
With other DEs or WMs you can probably install some driver
Most Linux distros and desktop environments support touchscreens out of the box :)
Yes of course, I already have an old laptop I bought on eBay around $200 and installed Linux mint on it, runs well, it has an old battery in it that's not holding charge as well was lucky to get 1 hour and half battery life out of it running windows but now with Linux mint MATE edition it gets about 3 and half hours battery life, tempted to try Linux mint xfce or maybe Manjaro xfce to see if battery life is expanded even more, I'm gonna start experimenting with Linux more on some older PC towers I have, some I inherited, some I might give away to a friend or the neighbor because I would love to see more Linux users.
Tny11 which is a stripped down version of Windows 11 works very well in old systems and yes it receives software updates
Linux is pro environmental, breath todays tech into old PCs. I have been doing this and it's a big deal
I installed Linux on my Gaming PC

@@NHSoft any of them I want. Minecraft, apex, Roblox, BeamNG, ect.

@@BarrelTitor91 I have a 4k 60 hz monitor that does not support Gsync and I only use V-sync. I got HIGHER fps over wine then on windows.
@@CommentGuard717 I would love to see the benchmarks. I get 28% less fps in Linux and can play only 30% of the games. The input lag is horrendeous.
At that point, that PC can’t benefit from Windows, so it’s okay to install Linux to it
My mom's age-of-consent old laptop struggled to run windows XP of all things, then installed Lubuntu and it's somewhat usable now. Could be that the hard drive is borked, gonna swap it with a new SSD and see what happens
If it ever needs a newer model of laptop, best grab a Dell XPS 9370, it's about 300 usd now, but once that laptop kicks the bucket, probably will be way cheaper than 300
I'm really into gpu programming and for so long windows kept holding me back from actually experiencing the beauty of it, even since I switched to linux I've been able to perform much better and learn more and have fun
Tried Linux Mint on my old Asus Laptop for the very first time and it turns out to be interesting, but I'm still familiarizing and exploring LM features!
When it comes to security it usually depends on how it’s configured on what application. Hardened Windows is also Good in Security.
My main computer is actually one from 2011
(I use arch btw)
Yes, I will download Linux on my old computer, without a doubt.
Actually, I'm excited about this!!
I use windows as my main OS because I like to play videogames, but I used to dual-boot my main PC to Ubuntu 20 and one of the first things I install on any new device is WSL because linux is just cool. I even found a bash emulator for my phone!
Im also using lubuntu (specifically lubuntu 22.04 LTS) on my 8 year old HP laptop because it ran slower than a snail, upgraded it from 4 gb of ram to 6 and it runs better than ever. Would highly recommend to anyone with an old pc or laggy laptop.
I don't have the charger for my old laptop. I used a vm for some reason. Adding problems that was supposed to be the solution into a problem that needs solutions
Thanks man. I will try it on my old PC
Not an old pc but decided to install Zorin on my slowing down Windows gaming laptop and it works like a charm. Games work great (Proton compatibility layer is near perfect), and programs have never launched faster. If your pc is slow, try a Linux distro.
You can also choose something like
antiX, or if you are fancy, use Arch with fluxbox, or if you feel even fancier and are willing to wait until the heat death of the universe, then compile Gentoo on it.
gentoo is a W linux distro
Installed linux mint on 6 year old Delta laptop. The requirements hardware, hardware wise, to use windows 11 is a joke. I am running mint beside windows 10. I started making the required changes i.e partitions and et . I had some questions and saw the "install button on down loaded folder. I hit the button and mint made the changes and loaded the operating system. Mint is faster then Windows and comes with about everything I need for home use and work related tasks. I loaded wine so I could operate windows programs. I have not had the need drag any over programs. Very impressed. I wager that I will be busy putting the system on family and friends machines.
I’m using an XPS DELL 9730 (i7, 32ram and NVME) It feels bitter smooth experience with Kubuntu and I’m also playing STREET FIGHTER 6 on steam very nice.
I put windows 11 in a VM for those adobe apps and that’s it 😅
Switched to Linux Mint in August, never looked back
Got linux lite on my go laptoo and windows on my oldie. Will change to linox on that as well ❤
Have an old laptop Intel N4000, 4gb ram, 240gb ssd and install it with xubuntu. Its still used to code java with Eclipse & Netbeans. Totally works, man. 🎉
I'm a Linux Mint, Ubuntu and BOSS User... Which are all Ubuntu and Debian based.
Linux is a little bit tough as I was a windows user for a long time. But it is also customizable and its user interface is good.
I use Kali, I have 2 old laptops running Metasploitable 2 and 3 one Linux, one Windows 2008. I use them for pentesting on a closed network.
I daily drive Fedora KDE, however, I sometimes try other distros. It's perfect, runs all the apps I use and, what's more, no Microsoft spyware and bloatware! And it's free too!
It might be a bit of a learning curve for some people, but it has gotten a lot more simple over the years.
Ive been running xubuntu and other distros on old trash for decades! Great way to make good use of old hardware.
Proud to be a Linux user (parrot Os)
I was having an old pc with 2gb ram and it was a headache. Now it runs really smoothly
I run PiHole on a raspberry pi to get rid of ads, installed OpenMediaVault on a pc from the street as my NAS and a custom version of Ubuntu (kde desktop with Wayland) on my daily laptop and android on my smartphone (yes, that's actually driven by some form of the Linux kernel)
been using Lubuntu for 5 years! Love it
I dumped Windows 2 years ago for Linux Mint and now run v22. I love it on both laptops.
You can install win 8.1. extremely lightweight (lighter than win7) requires only 1gb ram and runs a lot faster if you diasable all animations
Using a decade old laptop and using Mint on it. Love using Surfshark on it.
Thx for the tip dude👍⚜️
Earlier version of windows like 7 and 8 also works great and consumes less ram and cpu . I used to use them with my ubuntu 22.04
Was thinking of it, unsure if I actually should though.
Dude I have that same computer with the SAME BUSTED HINGE LOL!! Probook 4310s for life
