I have spare, someone aging laptops that I fool with. My "work" laptops are put away until I use them for, uh, work. Too many saved files, etc., to use casually.

I have a Core i7 HP Elitebook that I moved over to Endless OS. It is "defanged" version of Linux, originally intended for low-spec PCs to help kids in underdeveloped countries..

But it took on a life of it's own.

Most Linux "distros" are for enthusiasts and are a bit ugly under the hood. Endless is as well, but you don't need to worry about it so much.

I am enjoying missing all the pop-ups, notices, "suggestions" from the MS Store and the fact that 100% of OS and appls are free. I can still use Google Docs, etc.

There are a lot of photo apps, but my main use is reading and viewing, etc.

It sure does breath life into an aging PC and can be installed alongside Windows.

I went to Linux Mint about 10 years ago and would never go back.

I would challenge -people with a spare laptop to try Endless for a while and then do some browsing with Windows and see how much cclutter there is. EVERYBODY is trying to sell you something!
