My journey to a new laptop enabled by Xfce donations

I have been contributing to Xfce since about 2013. Over the years, computers have come and gone, from netbooks to desktops to laptops. Since I moved to another country, I’ve been avoiding owning a desktop for practical reasons – the less bulky my belongings, the better. Before the move, I decided to sell my aging desktop (self-built) and even older laptop (a Dell Vostro – ah, fond memories of playing GTA V at 20 FPS) for peanuts and invest in a gaming laptop.
