I have two

figured out how to reformat an old hard drive that i needed the space to store new shows I wantef to have and was able to make room for so much stuff. It took way to long for me to sit down focused and walk thru a 5 minute youtube video explaining it and it paid off. I knew that was the solution all the while, just took a long time to buckle down and do it. I need to get more in that habit
Couldnt remember debit pin and its annoyed me for a long time when i needed to withdraw cash various times. Found a forum post saying the exact process in the banks app and had it sorted out in less than a minute. Itd been like 3 months I put up with that and its just not an issue anymore

So yeah, moving up to a faster, more capable system

windows 11 is not a faster, more capable system but one with even more bloat, including more user hostile bloat. the single advantage of it is that it still gets updates, but there are many other solutions to that.

Bien sûr!
However, and TBC-- I was referring to the actual hardware when I said "system."

Indeed, I greatly look forward to upgrading this shady OS to some manner of Linux, especially once things settle down here. (any 'flavor' you particularly recommend?)
