@boilingsteam Well... my laptop, a MacBook from 2009 running Linux Mint MATE, is going to be 15 years old later this year. 😆

I still using it regularly (though the battery is pretty dead, lol)

@boilingsteam
Feels bit fucked that 3+ years is "making it last"

Laptop is always a secondary machine for me so I'll keep it around as long as it works reliably.

At dayjob we replace machines every 4 years.
