I like Bunsen labs for this. I installed it on a 1 gb ram pentium m laptop and it was pretty good. Idled at 300 mb iirc. Only downside is that it uses openbox as a window manager so if that’s not your thing idk.

Has a decent bit of GUI tools

This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.

I tried xubuntu when I was 14 on a live cd to get students admin access on our school laptops. Once I got my own machine, I kept it on windows 10 until it became unstable so I moved to Bunsenlabs, then Pop OS due to it’s dgpu. (Intel igpu, amd dgpu)

I looked up the model. It’s a 5400 rpm Hitachi travelstar. It’s SATA 2

It’s just a normal hdd.

It’s currently installing some stuff hence the 100% utilization.

And sorry for taking 50 years to get back to you

I agree but idk what the hell Hitachi did with that hdd. It is the most responsive hdd equipped machine I’ve used.

I might also shove 16 gb into it but idk if it will boot with 16 gb. It’s also from Sony so idk if I can find an up to date bios for it.

It’s okay. Not particularly brilliant but it will run. I’m 80% sure that ram is the big thing that makes it feel responsive. My dad’s PC runs windows 11 but is a 2nd gen i5 Sony AIO. 2c4t, an aging 5400 rpm laptop hdd, and 8 gb of ram. It’s usable enough for his usecase.

My friend has a quad core Celeron (n4020) laptop with 64 gb of emmc and 4 gb of ram. It’s usable. She can play the Sims on it.

And halfway through the compile, it fails.

This show made me so mad. The premise was so good and now it’s just ugh

I think its a bit easier to use than kdenlive. I’d say it’s a little bit less full featured than kdenlive

That’s what bunsenlabs is for.

I got archcraft.

Lucky me. It’s also from India which is fun.

Gobolinux?

No one mentioned Bunsenlabs or Crunchbang Linux here, but they aren’t really that obscure.

Unironically, Chrome OS Flex might be the way to go. Dead simple, uses A/B updates and is just that, for people who just need something to work.

Mine was actually somewhat useful. (I was weird and used a windows mobile phone in HS because it was an upgrade over my nokia.)

Also the replacement power button broke after like two uses.

Power button broke: Kalm

(True story: too bad it happened 2 days before finals)

Trying to disable the lid close sensor on my laptop. My issue is twofold. It’s a convertible (pavilion x360) and I’m using bunsenlabs Linux.

The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I’ve only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.
