[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 917551, member: 82776"] On old hardware, like I had on my previous laptop Linux works great, all my hardware components worked, while most vendors stopped updating drivers on Windows7 for that laptop, so in terms of compatibility and using up to date (system) software the situation on Linux (I like Manjaro for the rolling updates) is better than Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. So Linux for old hardware is still the best and with some effort it is possible to replace XP and Windows 7 with a nearly identical Linux desktop variant on old hardware. But I am afraid that is the desktop niche for Linux shines, is at it best, mimicking old Windows versions on old hardware.
