@zer0unplanned @codemonkeymike Oh, just that I had been running #Ubuntu on them, but it seemed like the OS was getting finicky, started up slowly (even after a fresh install). When I put #Mint on, these problems disappeared. I know Mint uses an older Ubuntu base, but somehow the Mint developers have made it run faster and more smoothly than Ubuntu. (I have run Ubuntu also on other old machines since 2006. And I have run dual boot machines, but it isn't worth the hassle.)

@zer0unplanned @codemonkeymike Sure, but I didn't upgrade RAM between Ubuntu and Mint.

@codemonkeymike Both of my computers are 16 years old, when Windows7 was a thing. Although they were getting a little boggy with #Ubuntu, they run the latest #Linux #Mint swiftly and flawlessly, update on their own, never have a down day.
