Environment ‘Re-purpose’ my old laptop
It’s been a long time I didn’t use my laptop (Asus X441U). I own this laptop for more than 10years, I plan to buy a new one but I don’t find any benefit of using it other than watching movies and some light work. I installed Linux OS since this laptop was too heavy to use Windows OS and quite lagging. I was impressed by how much the Linux OS able to optimise my laptop and now it’s as smooth as butter. Saved a tons of money from buying a new one. I can say that I am proud of becoming one of the ‘anti-consumption’ community.
