My girlfriend tried to use her laptop to look at some Black Friday stuff last night and she’s just getting sick of how slow it is. It ‘upgraded’ itself to W11 a while ago and that’s part of her problem. The other one is probably that it’s only running on 8gb RAM.
I think she wants to run a debloater finally but I may get her to covert over to Linux completely. If I did she would actually be more all in on Linux than me, I still have Windows on one of the drives of my main computer.

Yeah as soon as Win11 came in it ate all my storage and processing power. Now I only really use that machine for one game and everything else if possible gets done on my phone…
It’s such a bad OS

She still uses Chrome but Firefox isn’t that much better these days. We’ll debloat it but I can get a laptop off work for the price of a 1TB SSD so maybe it becomes a project or backup laptop.
Whatever we end up doing I think I’ll put bazzite on there for her because it’s similar to the steamdeck she already has and it’s main colour is purple, which is her favourite colour
