I am selling a refurbished Fujitsu Lifebook E544 with 16 GB of RAM.
Linux Mint is installed, a free and user-friendly operating system that allows the device to remain secure and reliable for many years to come.

Why not Windows?
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. After that, there will be no more security updates – millions of fully functional computers will become insecure or practically unusable.
The alternative: buy new hardware or switch to Windows 11, which does not even support many older devices.

With Linux Mint, you are independent of that:
It receives regular updates and security improvements. This release is supported until April 2029, after which you can upgrade to the next version easily and at no cost.
No subscriptions, no account requirements, no restrictions.
You won’t need new hardware just because a corporation forces you to.

“Linux? Isn’t that complicated?”
It’s true: some Linux distributions are more suited for professionals.

Linux Mint is not one of them, it’s ideal for beginners:
- Familiar interface with start menu, taskbar, and desktop icons, just like Windows.

Important programs are already pre-installed:
- Firefox (web browsing)
- LibreOffice (documents, spreadsheets, presentations)
- Thunderbird (email)

Additional applications can be installed with one click through the application manager. I’m happy to help if needed.
No antivirus subscriptions are necessary, Linux is inherently much less vulnerable to malware.

More than just technology – freedom & sustainability
Open‑source: The source code is publicly accessible, making the OS’s behavior transparent, no hidden backdoors.
Freedom rather than compulsion: No Microsoft account, no mandatory cloud, no surveillance.
Personalisation: You can customise colours, shapes and countless details, or simply use it straight out of the box.
Sustainable: Instead of throwing away a working laptop, it continues to be used, saving resources and reducing electronic waste.
Community instead of corporate control: Linux Mint is supported by sponsors and donors, not a profit-driven corporation.

Who is this device for?
This Lifebook is not a high-end MacBook Pro costing over €2,000, with a 4K display or any of those fancy tech bells and whistles.

But it is perfect for anyone looking for an honest, secure, and free device for everyday use:
- Writing, browsing, email
- Study or school
- YouTube, movies, music
- Online banking and everyday office tasks
- People who want to stay independent from “Big Tech”

The Fujitsu Lifebook E544 with Linux Mint is more than just a laptop, it’s an alternative to throwaway culture and dependence on large corporations.
A durable, easy-to-use notebook that works like Windows, yet is faster, safer, and will reliably serve you for years.
Perfect for anyone seeking a reliable, free, and sustainable everyday notebook.
