    @ragecoder I'd like to be on Linux but I need to use Adobe shit on Windows. Working on converting my media server from Win7 to Linux – probably FreeNAS.

    I got windows vista on a 9 years old machine (going to retire it soon thats why I have not upgraded it)

    My dad has windows 10 on his 8 years old gaming rig ;)

    New graphics card but otherwise the same.

    Nope. It's useful because computers no longer evolve as fast as they used to. There's nothing to do with Linux vs. Windows.

    Welcome to the Linux world! I'm a huge fan of manjaro KDE. Elementary is pretty too. :)

    @elazar exactly. The old computer is used for som browsing and games, and the games are not so heavy and runs perfectly fine.

    For development I got a portable from work with windows 10

    I'm using a 8yo 27" iMac with i7, 8GB RAM and Samsung 840 Evo SSD and it's still a rocket 🚀 couldn't be happier with it.
