Linux requires less resources to run and therefore can help make an old, forgotten and perhaps obsolete PC run decently again. In this video we will be installing various Linux distros on 2008 HP 4510S laptop. While this laptop can still run Windows 7 fairly well and feels snappy, the OS isn't well supported anymore and is not safe to use due to the lack of security updates. Windows 11 or 10 can be installed but makes this PC barely run. So, let's try installing Linux and hopefully make this HP laptop great again!

Today we will test Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and Lubuntu to see if these distros can help our PC run faster!
