depends on apps you run can run better & not everyone is built like a programmer. People need a system that works w out programming . Win 10 only supports updates now w paid updates. Ziron os seems like the best alternative 4 these old "Systems".

Ordering 2x T460 ThinkPad for my home office, i5 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. They come with Win 10 Pro but I will install MX Linux KDE 64-bit AHS. Dirt cheap now as refurbished, the best laptops ever. I was an IBM reseller since 35 years ago. Thinkpads were unbeatable always, especially the T400 series.

I had a similar experience with Windows 10. Regardless of configuration or registry settings, Windows would just consume the CPU if left idle for a few minutes, making the fan sound like a jet taking off. I moved to Linux and never looked back. Couldn't be happier. I now run Linux on all my laptops. No Windows in my house today.

I have a T470. We got it used when the company my wife works for upgraded to new laptops. I keep Windows since she uses it for work. I installed a second SSD and installed Linux on it, for me. I had issues installing Linux, specifically when creating the UEFI partition, but after that it's been a smooth experience. The SSD I installed was: Dogfish M.2 2242 SSD 250 GB 3D NAND TLC SATA III 6 Gb/s

Yeah I don't know specifically about the t470 but I've had issues with pre-intel 6th gen cpus and UEFI. Its "supported" but I've largely had problems getting it to behave well.

Gparted and wipe the partition. screw grub you don't need windows. Lenovo ThinkPad T400 series are excellent laptops. I've owned three and just sold two.

Linux is good for servers, media centre, casual browsing and watching youtube. If it was more widely supported by most software companies like Photoshop, AutoCad etc, would convert all of my machines to different distros. And nope, I am not scared to use Terminal, pretty familiar with Backtrack years ago, Kali as well. Currently I have 7/24 hosting with 5 websites in my house, done and maintained by myself.

If you're that unhappy with the screen, search for a possible replacement. Seems like a lot of thinkpads can take more than one. Edit: You should've shown us the system resource consumption under Mint.
