raymac46 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) I've decided to change things around on my older netbooks based on their memory capacity. On the brutal 1 GB Dell Mini 12 I went with AntiX IceWM-Rox. It's stable, lightweight and works OK with the BCM4312 wifi and Poulsbro video. (Ecch!) On the Acer Aspire One AO110L I upgraded to a breathtaking 1.5 GB of RAM I installed Manjaro Xfce. It'll be fine with that netbook's real Intel video and Atheros wifi chipset. I may rethink this and go with Manjaro LXQt. We'll see. It's fun to have old junk that you don't care about breaking.

raymac46 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 OK I have now installed Manjaro LXQt on the Acer Aspire machine. Very nice. Posting now from Midori. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) OK I have now installed Manjaro LXQt on the Acer Aspire machine. Very nice. Posting now from Midori. How about an LXQt RAM reading for the DE thread? We have no LXQT readings, so you'll be the benchmark for that DE! EDIT: Nevermind, you already posted it! You da man Ray! Thanks!

Guest LilBambi Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 My Jim swore by ICEWm and he used it on all lesser machines. KDE on better machines. I prefer KDE on better machines and xfce on lesser ones, although if it's a computer I don't need to configure much, I may go with LXDE (like a netbook).

raymac46 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Fran if you're a fan of KDE and are considering LXDE, maybe LXQt would be of interest. Manjaro has a particularly nice looking spin called LXQt Dark. https://manjaro.github.io/Manjaro-Lxqt-dark-16.04-released/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Very nice. I love transparency. I know it's a hog, but I do so enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
