You can have non ABS brakes though. It's a descriptor of what type of brake system.

Wait, did we just reach a point where a command line input is needed for Windows and Linux just needs to press a few buttons??

I used to use D-Link routers but I ran into a lot of issues so I got a TP-Link now and it's been working better so far.

Funny that they use green LEDs because blue and white hadn't been invented yet.

It saves a lot of money for each subscription service you can skip.

I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn't keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling...

Eh, well, at least I get to keep something out of it.

There was a guy who was charged with a DUI in Wyoming, USA who argued successfully that the horse knew the way home and he was just a passenger.

Ah, yeah, you're right.

For some use cases, yes those would be better choices. Since your original post talks about "breathing new life" I'm assuming we're talking about computers that are too old to recieve Windows updates or are too slow to be used with bloated Windows. In those cases, instead of throwing the device out, installing Linux is a good choice since it has lower RAM requirements, allowing you to open more browser tabs.

I'm so confused. If Linux uses less RAM at idle than Windows, wouldn't it be better choice for systems with low RAM?

This is an issue with browsers, not Linux. RAM usage will be lower on Linux than on Windows.
