-   [[Sprucing up an old Windows 8.1 laptop]].  I'm honestly surprised by how crappy the Windows 8.1 experience is.  The number of things that **just don't work**.  I can't create a new user.  I can't turn on Family Safety.  It just comes back with random errors.  Honestly - I'm not a blind partisan, I am always pragmatic.  But Linux is much better than this, and has been for years.
