Linux Mint usually works well on older hardware. There are limits though and it looks like your PC is simply too old. There are plenty of distros that are specifically designed to work on older hardware. I suggest you try one of those.
But it’ll keep the hype cycle going for a little bit longer! Line must go up!
Because the tech bros support the nazi-distro. Which should come as a surprise to nobody.
I’d also suggest Mint for getting started. I’ve been using it for several years with minimal hassle.
A former staffer made claims of sexual harassment. It is unclear how substantiated those were, but i guess there was something going on. Since then they made a very heavily publicised effort to do better, but it’s obviously hard to tell from the outside if that resulted in real changes.
Bold of you to think you have rights, plebe! Now pay your subscription and pray I don’t alter the deal again!
This is why I never bought a second Samsung phone. The one I bought was pretty nice, but the the huge amount of crapware that could not be uninstalled really ruined the experience for me.
How do you do that?
It won’t happen any time soon unless Ubuntu does something drastic. I do think it would be a good idea for them to move in that direction, though.
Are you listening, Clem?
I’m not in any way saying that they shouldn’t have done that.
On the other hand, it was a cool product that many people would have enjoyed. And now it’s gone.
I said “not very sporting”. That’s hardly a condemnation.
While Valve didn’t do anything wrong from a legal standpoint here, I still think that’s not very sporting of them.
I don’t think it’s too niche at all. It’s too expensive, of course, but if this was $600 or $700 they’d sell a lot of them. This is the kind of machine anyone who can operate a playstation can use. At a lower piece it would have a very broad appeal.
There are things this does that would be very difficult to achieve in a custom build. It’s very compact and quiet and has very good driver support without any tinkering. It’s a machine you hook up to your living room TV and for that it works very well, including CEC support which is not standard on PC hardware. The price is of course hard to swallow and performance isn’t great but i think this thing will definitely sell all the units they can possibly make.
Seconded. Absolutely what I’d install in this kind of situation. I have an old machine set up for my wife with Mint. She only uses it to check her bank account, basically. So far zero issues.
Not me. I really want a Linux phone but one that is artificially hobbled? No thanks.
That’s not how patents work. If you open source something, it will count as prior art if someone else tries to patent the same thing.
