The article about not buying new laptops is genius, thanks. I don’t remember how old my laptop is, around 7 years? Windows 11 regrets to tell me it’s not supported. I’m running double-boot Win10 (for work, unfortunately) and Linux and stubbornly refuse to let it die. It was always shit when on Windows (like some keys and USB never working properly) and runs smooth as butter under Linux. But I need a replacement and this article really helps get my priorities straight. Thanks for writing and sharing, I really love the solar-powered site!
