A few years ago, I watched a Linux tutorial on YouTube. The person wanted to show people that Linux was capable of running on older hardware. I gasped when the person said, "As you can see, Linux is running well on my three-year-old computer."
Why was I startled by the person's statement?
Because, in my opinion, a three-year-old computer is not that old.
Recently, a cousin of mine had a hearty laugh when I told her that my computer was older than three years.
She told me that she buys computers every three years and gives the old ones away.
She even asked me if I wanted her laptop computer and even went as far as to tell me that it had Windows 10 on it and asked if having Windows 10 on it would be a problem (My cousin was probably thinking that I would have preferred to use Windows 11 instead).
I told her, "It really does not matter. All I am interested in is the hardware. I use Linux. So, I would be installing Arch Linux on it."
Honestly, I am still perplexed by the idea of someone getting rid of their computer because it has reached three years of age.
So, today, I am going to make an attempt to understand the reason why some people get rid of computers when they are three-years-old.
