No real issues with installing apps, except one, a password manager that I depend heavily on.
A real issue has arisen. The old laptop can handle the OS running Chrome with a few tabs open but I usually operate with several windows open, one for forum and news, one for email, messages, etc, and maybe a third to explore how to do something or what to buy. I tried that today and this old laptop was brought to its knees. I think the issue is not enough RAM so it starts swapping to harddrive and thrashes because so many open active URLs.
So it's time to explore buying a new computer...

My old laptop running Linux froze up. Was doing a lot of browsing but keeping tabs to a minimum but it still froze up.

Nah, just set it aside for now.
Found a Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook (13”) for $1,099 half off ready to ship in a few days. I've had good luck with Lenovos.
One thing I noticed with desktops was once you start configuring them you have to wait 2-3 months to get them. Wonder if it's the chip shortage affecting cars and truck?

Now comes the tracking of your shipment. That always causes me stress. Has it shipped yet, where is it now, why is it taking so long and I hope they don't deliver it when I'm not home so a porch pirate gets it so I don't leave the house on the date that they say it's arriving, then they don't deliver that day - grrrr etc.
