The article discusses the issues of planned obsolescence in technology, particularly with Microsoft Windows nearing its end of life. With Windows 11 not supporting older hardware, many users must either upgrade their systems or continue using an unsupported Windows version, exposing them to security vulnerabilities. Alternatively, the article presents several Linux distributions, particularly Bodhi Linux, designed for older machines, enabling users to effectively revive outdated hardware with a user-friendly experience. This option allows those without the means to upgrade hardware to continue using their computers securely and efficiently.
When Microsoft released Windows 11, it became clear that a lot of hardware wouldn't support the new version of Windows.
With these operating systems, you can revive an old machine and make it run as though it were new.
For about five years, Bodhi Linux was my go-to operating system. It's not just perfectly suited for older hardware.
The one caveat to using Bodhi Linux is that you will have to rethink the way you interact with the desktop.
