Cons: 

1. Awareness of the x based OS to common people is very less.

All Linux Operating systems available for Free download and they all have built in with Browser, Audio – Video applications, word processors, spread sheet, and presentation programs with many other creative application.

We have huge population apart from metro cities – many of family have their own old style computers – which have become waste due to advancement in the operating systems and online virus threats. It becomes a huge amount of Carbon if thrown to waste. We all have a Computer with below configuration:

a. Windows XP – OS, 
b. Intel Celeron or Pentium 4 – CPU 
c. RAM – 256 MB or 512 MB – it may not allow you for additional RAM. 

Our difficulties:
1. We have latest OS which cost in GB of installations and dead slow performance. 
2. If our system is still alive - Internet - Virus threat – 

We have seen a recent article from Tech gig: Link for best antivirus programs in the market. However none of them help you to prevent your old system from virus because these programs needs high configuration systems and even if you install them – your PC will go to a dead state due to background jobs from Antivirus programs. Avast, AVG or any other antivirus -- it will consume 100% CPU and 100% RAM Good News !! Make your old computers working?

We have to avoid bad situations using old systems and crash – also not to look for new innovations in the market and luring your buying behavior for buying new OS, technologies or hardware (new PC). 

Message:

Do not create carbon waste.

Learn to use Open Source and re-use old computers.
