I recently installed #ArchLinux with #KDEPlasma on an old #LenovoYoga720 for my wife and I’m absolutely blown away. This machine, which was crawling under #Windows10, now feels incredibly fast, fluid, and modern.

Boot times are nearly instant, programms open without delay, and the entire system feels lightweight yet powerful. #KDEPlasma brings a sleek, customizable interface that runs like a dream. It’s like this laptop got a whole new lease on life, seriously, it feels like it’s performing ten times better than before.

If you’ve got an old laptop lying around, don’t toss it, revive it with #GNULinux!
