You’ve now got Linux installed on your hard drive and hopefully, it’s working well. It shouldn’t take much getting used to – if you know how to navigate around Windows, then Linux Mint is a doddle. You’ll get a lot more life out of your old laptop, but there will come a time when you’ll need to replace it, or retire it to back-up status.
Information about getting a laptop with Linux can now be found at our sister organisation, NonCorporate.org.
