IBM T42 in 2021: Windows XP or Linux for Old Hardware?
180Retro review of IBM Thinkpad T42 laptop. Once I got my hands on this amazing retro technology I was thinking about installing different operating systems on the laptop.
My initial thought was installing Linux there, but then I have thought more about it and installed both Windows and Linux.
