My wife’s 2019 16" MPB is running pretty great. Probably got another 5 years of life left in it. She uses it to watch YouTube and play Sims 4.
My 2016 Acer Aspire V3-372T is hanging in there running Debian. 60 FPS YouTube videos are getting to be too much for it anymore. I may have to put the old girl to rest one of these days.
It still runs decently, I often forget it’s a 10 year old machine. I boot Ubuntu on it for work though, and boot Windows on it for the occasional game. It’s a useful machine.
Im running my 2015 mbp on the newest macOS and it’s still quite okay.
with apple devices, they do have long update periode. But when its over, the device is basically trash.
It’s not in the regular update cycle anymore but there is an Open Source tool to patch it.
Running even Ventura on a 2021 mac air is… MEGA slow
I think you got downvoted because you put 2021 instead of 2012. Made the comment sound hyperbolic instead of factual.
thanks, yes I did swap the numbers, this machine is from 2012

But hey, it does play Minetest pretty flawlessly.
We have a 2010 laptop that was useless with Windows. Runs NixOS now. Wife uses it for youtube, zoom calls, email etc. It is super responsive.
