2012 Samsung Series 9 here, going strong with Debian Stable! I might end up ditching it for something with an OLED screen, but I am sure it will still be running fine.



I have a 2013 Samsung Ativ Book 6, the younger brother of your machine! The display broke twice, the keyboard is 85% unresponsive, HDD got replaced with SSD, and jampacked a larger (Ativ Book 8) battery inside.

Physical issues aside, it runs Windows 11 passably for a backup PC -- Not bad!


My Samsung qx410 died miserably (motherboard gave up the ghost) after only 2 years. Bought in 2010, died in 2012. Replaced it with a hand-me-down thinkpad t510 which is still going strong after 11 years. (Not my primary machine anymore of course but it still works quite well)
