    1. Ditch Windows
    2. Install Plasma
    3. Your computer is ready.

    Oh, hey, I already did that! I’ll have you know that once I did, my computer was no longer broken and my life changed— Colors became more vivid. Birdsong sounds sweeter. Food tastes better. My wife got even hotter. And I even discovered the secret to nuclear fusion!

    Joking aside, ever since switching to Linux, my machine had never run better.

      I have rescued several laptops that were struggling with Windows by installing Linux, and KDE Plasma is excellent these days. My 7 year old Dell XPS, which had become unusably slow and hot under Windows 11 despite repastes and cleaning, runs OpenSUSE Tumbleweed like it’s a new machine.
