I think my pi zero w might run a circle around it.
5·16 days agoPuppy Linux 4.20 in a pentium 3 laptop.
Current distro of choice is just bunsenlabs.
At least with my own anecdotal evidence, it’s also color temp. “Daylight” bulbs seem to be more of an issue.
I prefer bright but warmer light
totally doable. But if you yeet the bloat, windows 10 will be more than fine. My dad runs windows 10 on a i5 2430m all in one. My old school computers had i5 2400s and 4 gb of ram and they ran windows 10 without too much issue.
Would openbox count?
80% of the full UI of a proper de but with 30% impact on really slow hardware.
Tested or listed specs? I would recommend at least using the 32 bit version in other distros as well. It will be marginally lighter memory wise.
And I just remembered that my pentium m laptop has a dgpu. It’s very weak but just enough.
Unless if it’s a storage thing
Maybe try something with openbox? Bunsenlabs linux is a good example of what you can do with a window manager. I run it on a pentium m laptop (1 core) with 2 gb of ram. It’d be doable. (It originally had one 1 gb and I don’t think I even enabled swap).
Basically arch plus mimicking their UI would be a good starting point.
Or just use bunsenlabs 32 bit if your software has 32 bit versions. It will be a bit lighter from a memory standpoint.
1·1 month agoThey came with dual cores or quad cores but yeah basically anything would be fine.
All of them would be fine, also what wireless card and does yours have a gpu. Iirc the 580 had an option for an mx150 so I wouldn’t be surprised if the 480 had one.
Intel wireless cards are well supported, others not so much
The keyboard doesn’t really flex on my sister’s laptop but good God it’s awful to type on. It’s weirdly mushy. Idk if her laptop is defective or if it’s something else. The keyboard is clean but compared to both of my pavilion laptops, it feels like my old dell multimedia keyboard in terms of mush. And yeah they trackpad is awful. My friend had a w530 and it was about the same honestly. But that was a then 6 year old laptop.
Fwiw the 11th gen i5 is actually garbage. Cpu is strong and the igpu has no business being as good as it is, but it is not power efficient at all at lower tdp. I cannot for the life of me get my old 11th gen i5 laptop to run any lower than like 1.8 GHz or something ridiculous. Just babying a laptop that’s less than a year old gets me maybe 3 hrs of battery life. It’s had really bad degradation, with 80% capacity left on a 40 wh battery but swapping in a Ryzen motherboard got me another hour of battery life. Also weird ass stutters, holy shit it’s bad. If I typed too fast, my computer would lock up entirely. It’s just a thing that it did.
This is me on monkeytype when it locked up one day.
My sister has a T580 with the 7th gen i5-7200u. Full tilt it runs at 60C after a repaste. My own pavilion x360 with the same i5 runs close to 90C. Let’s not talk about the 8th gen i7 version of said x360.
The 8th gen i5 and i7 CPUs just run really hot.
As for build quality, it’s fine. It’s no r500, but it’s built pretty well. Her laptop has been dropped a few times and the only issue it has is a fucked USB c power port (my only gripe is hard to replace USB ports).
