Linux, GNU/Linux, free software...

Me and my sister were visiting our parents for Christmas, and my dad has been complaining about his laptop being slow all year, so I decided to buy a SATA SSD to install Fedora 41 XFCE for him. I used my laptop to install and setup everything, when I was done, we went to our parents home and I helped him switch the HD for the SSD, he was so happy with the results that he said he was proud of me all day, telling all his friends about it.

Just wanted to share this Christmas story with you guys.

In case anyone is curious, he has a Samsung NP275E4E, this laptop is famous for not letting users enter BIOS, so if you have one and want to install linux, I recommend using another PC to setup everything.
