From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That should be an easy fix though, you can get a 512GB SSD for $25-35. In fact OP said they were doing this because the original drive failed. You'd notice a huge difference going to flash.
Yep, that's what I did. Super fast now.
512GB wouldn't be enough for me, and larger SSDs are too expensive. Also opening this laptop seems like a pain in the ass trying not to break display cables from teardown video I've seen.
And yeah, I know. I switched back from SSD after my secondary laptop failed. Going from 8-10 second boot-up to multi-minute boot-up can really be felt. That was a 16 year old laptop with such speed, by the way. SSD seems like a magic.
