I inexplicably had the title screen song (or well, handful of PC Speaker bleep bloops) to Striker, (1985, DOS, CGA) pop in my head just now. It is the first computer video game I've ever played, on an Amstrad PC512, as a child.

From Dust to Desktop: How to Revive Your Old #Laptop with #Linux

April 4, 2025 by Martin

Excerpt: "Here’s why Linux is the perfect solution for your old laptop:

- It’s Incredibly Efficient: Lightweight Linux distributions use a fraction of the RAM and CPU power that Windows 10 or 11 demand. This leaves more resources for your applications, making everything feel faster.
- It’s Secure: The underlying architecture of Linux makes it far less susceptible to viruses and malware than Windows. Plus, with ongoing community support, even old systems receive regular security updates.
- It’s Free: The operating system and thousands of high-quality applications (web browsers, office suites, media players) are completely free to download and use.
- It’s Customizable: You can make your Linux desktop look and feel exactly how you want it to. From a macOS-style dock to a classic Windows 2000-era taskbar, the choice is yours."

Une machine imparfaite, mais essentielle pour comprendre l’histoire technique et culturelle du numérique.
