My old laptop is a surface pro with a crapped-out battery that got progressively slower and slower until one day just decided to never boot again. I recently flashed it with Ubuntu and the kernel for surface laptops that allows for the touchscreen. Runs as good as new.
Battery is still shot, so I only use it as a media center to cast old video games to my TV, but I was thinking of scrapping it completely, and now I have a pretty good tablet to stream stuff.
Similar to why I switched my laptop. It wouldn’t react to any input for sometimes up to 5 minutes. I thought it was just broken beyond repair. Put on MINT to test it, now I can finally use the old mill again!
