Ah, it looks like I was doing the right thing in switching to Linux
every so often and going back to Windows. It ends up being every two
months or so.

Seriously though, that's a pretty good advertisement for Linux and a
defense of its 6-month window for major distribution updates.

I have an old Latitude D430 that started out (when I got it) at either Linux
Mint 17 or 18 (can't remember which). This computer maxes out at 2GBs of
RAM. Just to see how it would work, I updated it (step by step) to Linux
Mint 22. And it did this successfully — it took forever, but I was still
amazed that it would 1) Even work with the newest Linux Mint and 2) That it
actually updated four or five full versions (two steps for each major point
update).

(The Latitude D430 was first released in 2007.)
