      Light Weight GNU/Linux for Old Laptops -> Suggestions?

      By raymac46 · Posted

      Here is another example of what you could see: HP Pavilion 14 inch from 2015. Runs Linux Mint Xfce. Wifi. Broadcom BCM43142. Fugly. This one ain't gonna work unless you install with a wire or USB wifi dongle, then use Mint's Driver Manager to resolve matters. Memory. 8 GB DDR3 - lots of capacity with a light distro. Runs anything. CPU. Core i5 Broadwell. 2 Cores, 4 threads. Decent Intel graphics. SSD. Patriot Elite Burst 1 TB. Rock and Roll. I had to tear the whole laptop down to replace the HDD with an SSD. But this one is a keeper. Perfect for the grandkids to use. It's well within the 10 year window of useful hardware for Linux. I think a new Linux user might be frustrated with no wifi though.

      To be honest, I didn't even notice this before. When we first started using this newer version of the board software a few years back, I set up the "Custom Unread" link to show me all the sub-forums that I follow. I just click on that and all the subs with new posts show up. There is a "click to see latest post" when that happens in the Custom Unread area. Also, much of the time, I just click on the Notifications icon when I first get here and it shows ALL the posts that have happened since my last visit. When I click on one of those notifications, it automatically takes me to the first "new" reply in the thread.   Be patient, @Will Watts is currently working on possibly converting this place to an entirely different (and better) board software... Xenforo.

      Well... another delay in getting over there, so won't have the chance to see what I'm dealing with until Monday.
