Stable daily driver distro for a laptop (Dell Latitude 5431)?

Please do not resurrect old threads, the OP has not been seen in 18 months

....unless it's genuinely relevant (which it very rarely is). "Necro-posting" is discouraged by most communities.

(No issues with "resurrecting" your own elderly thread, I would imagine..?)

Maybe we should do what the Mint Forum does...lock Threads older than 6 months.

That's a good idea, Bob.....with the possible modifier that the ONLY person who can continue to reply to any given thread - regardless of time elapsed - is the OP themselves (the person who originally started it).

If they never reappear again, the thread will naturally sink into the past of its own accord....

@wizardfromoz :-

Would the above be a viable suggestion, Chris?

Some threads on here are 4/5 years old or older and people respond to them...myself included...I sometimes think...why am I reading this old Thread.

We have too many active older threads (both in off-topic and in tutorials) to do anything like that.

Just, you know, don't post to old threads. If you see others doing so, don't join them in doing so. I think it's pretty simple.

What David said, Mike.

These questions are better directed to Forum Assistance, but I suggest people run a search on

lock threads

and go through it, before they post a new one.

Sometimes you're just shoveling through the forum looking up certain search terms; and the threads coming up might not be the youngest. At times, it's easy to overlook.

edit: Right now, I'm looking at a thread from 2020, new questions popping up in my mind at every second paragraph...
