Some of these machines literally took 5 minutes to get from boot to watching a YouTube video, and now they can do so in a fraction of that time.
I’m super-interested in helping people reduce e-waste in my community now, and am wondering about how to go about advertising my willingness to help strangers restore their old/slow/Win11-ineligible machines. I wish I got over the fear of OS-wiping years ago!
Yeah, Mint makes the screen of an old iMac that I put on it go bonkers whenever it wakes up from “suspension” (which is apparently the Linux term for sleep); it becomes extremely bright with horizontal lines until the machine is restarted. I guess I could have tried to diagnose that… hmm.
