A Commentary on Linux and Computer Hardware

Apple launched a new series of MacBooks recently called Neo. They are powered by the same chips that power iPhones. I think the company is producing so many new things that something you bought last year seems obsolete. That planned obsolescence cannot be good for the environment because of the e-waste it produces. We are also aware of Windows 11 making many systems obsolete too.

I am glad to do my part to keep older machines going as long as possible. Thanks to Linux working on perfectly good machines it can make a difference. It’s also fun and cool to keep an older system going with a little creativity such as more memory and SSDs. To the Linux community lets keep making our favorite distros better and easier for new users to come on board so they can save some time and money.

I recommend ZorinOS, Fedora or Linux Mint for anyone wanting to get into the Linux game. They are powerful operating systems that is easy on older systems. They are also full of features that will help you get things done such as web browsing, word processing, graphics, podcasts, email, music, gaming and more.
