     @itsfoss I’m on linux mint xfce and I can’t believe my old asus k53 is still working! Haven’t used it in years since win7 is not supported…
     I added an ssd to help it out. Also I had to change the power supply and the battery.
     My newer laptop with win11 is on rest since then.

     @itsfoss I recently tried Gentoo and compiled the kernel and all programs with optimizations like SIMD instruction sets. It's probably the fastest Linux distro I've experienced so far.

     @itsfoss Zorin: got tired of the gnome desktop
     Kubuntu: got tired if snaps in apt
     Debian: A slightly newer kernel would be nice, but the stability makes me able to use my PC without any problems (KDE Desktop)
     Mint: it just works, probably the only distro I've ever used with the right balance between stability, new kernels easy to customize and zero need for the terminal (other than when I want to use it)
     Arch: Did a successfull install the 4th attempt... erased the partition later :roundboi:
