    You underestimate just how crazy clean Linux is. For a while I ran Debian out of an USB 2.0 thumb drive on a machine that was already slow ten years prior – hardly a hickup. In-place updates didn’t even take more than 15 minutes (which, considering how slow my storage was, is great).

      Not underestimating. This dudes not even taking into account how shitty a school spinning disk drive can be with how many hours they are on, how cheap they are, how many times they’ve been written to, etc. Im IT at a school I know how bad they get.
