Hmm, that's weird... I have an old laptop from 2014(so 11 years ago) which was pretty mid at the time, and it runs linux without issue, and is not slow at all.
Maybe there's a hardware issue in your laptop or some other problem?
(I've replaced the HDD in it for an SSD, but I assume a 10 yo high end laptop would have an SSD) -
@whimsical Recently got myself a referbished X13 (Gen 1) for a really low price. Works great, I love it.

@whimsical No, I mean Thinkpad X13
urgghhh this old laptop doesn't have a working shift key
also it's sticky. eeeeee
thankfully there's 2 shift keys but talk about awkward
just gotta dump ssh on it and find out if it can run rust or not. God this thing is slow. was top of the line 10 years ago when this business guy bought the best laptop he could find, now somehow barely runs arch. crazy
