Sounds like a good way to make use of old eMachines, at a large discount too.
Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop! (eMachine edition)

I know it’s an old photo but it’s funny to me how they describe the machine itself in very simple terms in a way that any person could probably understand with minimal technical knowledge (here’s the programs it has it works ok), and then there’s so much internet lingo and borderline tech speak for the reasons to opt for Linux instead of Windows lol. Could have started with “it’s faster!”
Oh you’re right! I thought this was new. But, at least as old as 2017, at least from my search.
But yes, way too tech lingo.
They also make the tired old claim that it’s immune to Windows viruses. Well yeah it’s immune to the windows versions of those viruses but there are plenty viruses for Linux and obviously Mac as well.
I get quite annoyed about this claim everyone seems to make where they claim that because you run and non-windows OS you’re suddenly immune to viruses.
I think the photo is quite old though so it was a little more true back then maybe. But it’s definitely not a statement I would make today.
