Re: Eh?
My 2009 Sony Vaio Core i7 no additional series number, 1st generation, is still happily running Mint Linux and works just fine (since I put an SSD in a couple of years back).
I use it as a backup PC, but it works just fine. I also have a Pi 400, which is fun.
Tossing up, whether to put openSUSE or Manjaro on my main PC at the moment.
