Maybe if you compile your own kernel but if you just install any old distro, you'll get all the same bloat as Windows, probably even more. And a lot of applications run terribly on both Linux and macOS, as most software is coded for Windows, then ported to other OS.
It's getting much harder, because eBay seems to be in terminal decline - it often takes weeks to sell an item and you don't get nearly as many bids as you once did - but it's done me well for the last 15 years or so.
I'd suggest that's because you haven't done it in a while or you have chosen poorly. My laptops over the last 10 years or so run at least as well as the 10 grand PC workstations I use in my job. In fact, in the days of using Macs, my PC laptops always felt even slicker. The big workstations render like lightning but in general use my laptops always feel at least as slick. You know, things like moving an After Effects window around or panning around a 3D model in a viewport. Applications open and close as fast and it doesn't take any longer to initialise plugins or any of that kind of stuff. It mostly feels exactly the same to me, even my new Legion Go.But when I had to use windows laptops it never runs as smoothly as in Mac ones, maybe I haven't had luck with the particular laptop models but the fact is that run quite worse than my PC desktop.
Gee, do you think, maybe, that's why I asked a f**king question? Thanks for answering.Seems like you don't know what you are Talking about.
It used to really piss me off that a new CPU almost always had a different socket, which also meant a new mobo. Even when I tried to future-proof it, they always f**ked me over.sometimes a new Cpu is the only thing you need to upgrade.
I look for "reconditioned" factory stock on eBay, which are usually just corporate customer's overstocks, i.e. brand new computers, with a full factory warranty. So I buy them for as little as half the retail price. A year later they are still a current model, which means they are still worth good money when I sell them.I also have a hard time believing that you get so much money back from your older Laptop that your new one is free.
