      On "modern" hardware linux mint is much better OS overall, but on "obsolete" hardware (low end core duo, pentium d etc.) Chrome os is waaaay better, and the browsing experience on low end hardware on chrome os is actually usable.

    Here is a tip, get a ssd. I use windows and when i switched from a hard drive to a ssd it was night and day difference. Apps that would take 1-7 minutes to open now only take only 1-2 seconds. Apps are stored in the computer storage drive so it makes sense that faster drives mean faster performance

    Also don't do this to your laptop if it has less than 2gb of ram, I did it on a dell latitude D610 with 512 mb, and it refused to boot. It even says 2gb is the minimum on the cloud ready website. Since Chromium OS has limited app support anyways, I would just buy an ssd (if the hdd is too slow) and install Windows 7 or 8.1

      Not me, I've been using Linux like 4 years and I am really comfortable with it. I even installed a distro called Zorin OS that looks like Windows for new users in my father's notebook (I am 17 and he is 41 years old). His computer was working so bad on Windows (the boot was like 40seconds or more, and then when you wanted to use it you had to wait again for the UI to get usable), so I decides to do that. Now he uses it and he has no problems, now the boot time is like 10 seconds and you can use it instantly. And he didn't had to learn anything new, it's really easy to use. He downloads his movies with QBitorrent, uses the internet with Firefox or Chrome, whatches videos or movies with VLC, etc.

    How To (really) Make Your Old Laptop Run Like New
    Step 1. Buy an SSD
    Step 2. Replace the old HDD with the new SSD
    And you're done! After that. Install whatever OS you want. It's not hard to replace the HDD, If you got a ThinkPad T420 (like I do)

    Get a SSD and install Linux Mint 18.3 Xfce and upgrade the ram.

    Gonna try to revive my 2005 dell by transplanting ram and storage from another one. Hopefully it can run windows 10 but if not I'll try this OS
