At the very least, they should be releasing some "Lite" version for older hardware or something.

It's such a catch-22 with Linux, because you're not going to see ads for it and most "normal" people don't even know what it is (and that they have a viable alternative to Windows).

I don't want ads for Linux, but I wish there was a way to elevate it into the general public consciousness so people are aware that they even have an option. AND ITS FREE.
