raymac46 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 These Atoms are now 10-12 years old and their architecture was based on a slow low powered version of Intel's original Pentium technology. So I guess we shouldn't expect much. That said the netbook works fine as a light office system with Gnumeric and Abiword, and is perfect for testing out lighter desktops and WMs with Arch Linux. When I got it a few years ago it was already driving my neighbor crazy trying to run Windows 7 Starter. He replaced it with a Core i5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have one pinned tab (Pandora music) and 9 others currently open in FF. I don't usually have that many open, but first thing in the AM, when I come online, I click on links (newsletters) in my email and also open up unread replies/posts on two or three of my everyday forums. Once I've read all of them, I usually only have two or three tabs open from that point on for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Right now I am on the Toshiba laptop using the GNOME Web browser. It is better than the heavyweights like Firefox and Chrome. I could at least post stuff here with it. This is with the Flux desktop on Arch Linux. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
