Can my laptop install Linux? - If it can run Windows 10, it can run Mint! - If it can run Windows 11 and too old to run Windows 11- get out of Windows and into Linux with us! Can I donate my old laptop to Resistor? - Yes, please do! At the end of the party, your Linux-ified device can join us. Maurice, Woody, Guillaume and Mars are members of NYC Resistor.
