    @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.

    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
