My laptop still works perfectly well so if Microsoft don’t want to support it any more then I’ll bung Linux on it. I’ve already got my Mint stick ready, just need to get round to it.
Nice! I was lucky to have extra drives when I switched to Linux on my PC, haven’t done it on a laptop yet. Do you just back up all your data to an external SSD/HD beforehand or go the partition route?
I wiped it after I left my last job so there’s next to nothing on it anyway now. They did give me a laptop but due to a stupid conflict between the AV and VPN one of the processor threads was maxed out causing the fan to run on full noise mode all the time.
