I too appreciate the ability to run linux on systems that cant handle even win7. I have a laptop here with the full mint cinnamon install working at full performance while being barely able to run the win7 it came with. I was unwilling to buy a win8 laptop so I bought something cheap and cheerful but moving completely to linux was the right thing for this machine.

Surprisingly Ubuntu 12 worked fine on an old system with 512 mb ram and 1GHz celeron. If I didnt need it to play certain games I would have got rid of my windows partition completely by now. It has literally exists just to play games. And with steam supporting the games I have of theirs I am using windows less and less
