I have a laptop for uni work that I bought in Jan 2011. It's got Lubuntu running on it and most of my work is done on Google Docs... so I'm not seeing the benefit of upgrading really.

It works.

I've got it installed, but in fairness the nearly-fourteen year old laptop takes a fair while to start the application now.

I'm not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs is a fairly decent cloud-based app that's largely agnostic to the low specs of my laptop.
