I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

Clearly not broken. Do not replace.

I'm talking about your mom.

I have old laptops too, it's a concern that the battery will explode and burn down the house

@hello

This. I have an old laptop that I noticed the battery was getting hot. I stopped using it for this reason.

When I find my round tuit, I will get an OEM battery.

There are a few videos on youtube that are a bit worrisome
