I wonder how performance will be.

Thinkpads and Linux are a meme, and yes this will be a memepad to the nth degree

did you know there are no Ron Paul gifs on insta? wtf I needed that meme

a bit slow, at idle itā€™s using 27%-37% (with the cpu widget on). Iā€™m sure there are ways to speed it up. Not super fast on startup eitherā€¦ but progress my dudes.

Any advice on slimming it down or stream lining for faster performance is welcome!

ok after a reboot itā€™s down to 1% on idle, still looonnnggg load times from bootā€¦ Iā€™ll have to time it

28s to sign in screen from boot
26s from sign in to desktop

yikes

Much learning has been done today, I have broken my installation and will have to reinstall to start a new.

Things I think could help:

  • 1x SSD

  • 1x 4gb RAM

  • Look into i3 (from what I have read itā€™s lighter on resources)

    or

  • Lighter distro, perhaps scrap the kool factor and go with Tiny Core or XFCE

you could always try a meme DE like TDE

Much 2000ā€™s, very windows

55

if tiling WMs is not your thing, you could try openbox or XFCE they are light on the resources too. I havenā€™t used openbox, but I did use XFCE when I started and itā€™s a damn good DE.

That is probably better than tinycore, thanks

tinycore is a distro and XFCE is a Desktop Environment :wink:

Oh I thought TinyCore was Core (the distro) and the desktop environment.

Distro - a distribution of Linux kernel with other userland (non-kernel) programs

WM - Window Manager - the thing that draws your windows and controls them

DE - Desktop Environment - the thing that controls the WM an integrates other programs into your desktop (sound managers, clipboards, notifications, etc)

DM - Display Manager - Login Screen + thing that chooses what DE/WM to run
