I use bunsenlabs helium on my old vaio a series laptop. I use a 32 bit non pae build bc it’s a pentium M that might not support pae. It uses a window manager over a desktop environment.
I’d recommend using a 32 bit distro as they tend to take up a little less ram.
Also I’m on a 4200 rpm PATA HDD. It has 2 gb of ddr ram. It’s slightly too old to get ddr2 which is unfortunate.
It’s 2 4 gb sticks and so I’d have to hope that it supports 16 gb of ddr3.
As for the ssd, that’s in the cards eventually. But since it’s an aio Pc, it’s an utter pain to work on
It’s actually not shit for a hdd which confuses me. It’s just an Hitachi Travelstar hdd. I’ve used faster (on paper) machines that don’t feel as responsive as that computer.
It’s an i5-2430m powered AIO PC with a HDD and 8 gb of ram (its only saving grace). It’s fine for what my dad uses it for, which is largely web browsing for work and excel.
I made that comment to my mom this morning. Also I have tried Linux on that machine and its weird. It has a very old digitizer that sort of works. (Sony Vaio AIO). Disabling it is a #1 priority.
He’s technically inclined enough to install it himself entirely.
Other issue is the wireless card. It’s an old Qualcomm card (not ath9k).
We’ll figure it out once windows 11 stops working. Or if the drive dies.
I need to try that actually for my old laptop. It blue screens if it updates past 1809
As of 15 min ago, my dad has decided to install windows 11 on his 12 year old home pc. Oh boy.
Idk if it counts as GenAI but I use Waifu2x to remove jpg artifacts and upscale textures to a useable state.
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.

(True story: too bad it happened 2 days before finals)
ikr. Deezer can’t be that unknown. Right?
Because you could fry your PC.

I’m also gen z and I learned it. I’m also 24.
Idk what to tell you. This is also a public school, and not a private school.
Gen alpha is learning cursive. Gen z is all highschool and college now.

Or advanced power plan.
iirc they mentioned the f710 constantly disconnected.
8 gb ddr3 dimms do exist. It could be a decade old laptop that can do that
The big issue in my eyes is that they cut down on ports period. Yeah sure you can do it all. Here’s 2 ports for your trouble. There’s not a meaningful amount of them after. My current personal laptop has 2 USB a, one type c, HDMI and microsd. My work laptop is the same, but flipped usba and c. That’s fine for a lot of people, including myself. But then you look at other machines like the xps 13 Plus which has like 2. Or a MacBook air. Which also has 2 but at least you get a headphone jack.
