    A breath of SSD air for a 10-year-old (Linux) laptop

    What I find a bit sad is that it would seem most mainstream distro developers nowadays simply assume their users run the same gear as they do, namely powerful rigs with ultra-fast storage. They seem to forget the mechanical hard disks. This is a bit of an irony, because Linux is supposed to be the savior of old hardware, due to its frugal requirements. Well, not so when the boot times are [11:02] schestowitz[TR2] 2-3 minutes. So I thought, let's "revive" this machine. I splurged 70 dollars and got me a 500GB Samsung EVO 870 SATA SSD. Can this make the Y50-70 sprightly again? Let's check.

    [14:11] schestowitz[TR2]

    The chsh (change shell) command in Linux is a utility that allows users to change their default login shell. The login shell is the command-line interface users interact with upon logging into a Unix-like system. Common shells include dash, bash, zsh, ksh, and fish.

    Before diving into the chsh command, it's essential to understand what a login shell is. The login shell is the first process that runs under your user ID when you log in. It's responsible for initializing your environment and providing an interface to interact with the system.
