Here's some news: I switched over to XFCE Mint on my w10 bloated former-school-laptop now porn-machine (ahem) bedside-reader, and it's running well enough that I no longer feel like dousing it in gasoline, running about 10 nails through it, then setting it alight.
Seriously, I'm strongly considering switching my desktop over.
Linux would open up a whole world of sub-$100 laptops if more people would just consider it. My wife's old Surface and another old HP laptop are bothj running so great with Linux, I'm thinking about resurrecting a laptop from the early 2000s just to see how usable it might be.

Nice! I picked up a 10 dollar laptop and put Lubuntu on it and it finally is useful!
