I’m sitting here in 2026 runnin Fedora 43 on a laptop from 2016, and honestly? It’s smoother than it has any right to be. My entire workflow lives in Brave and Obsidian, and this “old” i5 handles it like a champ. There is something deeply satisfying about taking a “boring” enterprise machine, slapping GNOME on it, and watching it run circles around modern hardware,It’s actually fuckin depressing that a 10-year-old laptop has better utility than 99% of the “pro” hardware being sold today.have a native Ethernet port and a full SD slot. Imagine that shit No $60 Amazon adapters dangling off the side like life support just to get a stable connection 🙄that’s what I call good hardware built to last.#r/Linuxmasterrace
People talk a lot about software enshittification, but hardware enshittification is also a thing!
My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law.
Dunno why you’re getting down-voted, this song fits perfectly.
I mean, it is some carbrain propaganda that aligned with the government-approved destruction of walkable cities and public transit. Soo it is kind to a hymn to enshittification in its own way.
