Just to say thanks again for all this advice.
I have installed MX, it does work and I like the look of it. The netbook is still not exactly what I'd call agile, but once I have the browser open and Meet up and running, it responds quickly enough.
I will still probably try to upgrade the RAM...
Perfect, thanks.
I'm currently preparing a house move so possibly won't get round to this as quickly as I'd like, but it's on a list of things to do....
Thanks for this and will try these options.
I really just want it as a 2nd laptop for online learning. It would only have to manage Google Meet/Drive sessions through a browser (ability to use scrcpy for screen mirroring from android would be useful too) - so the OS needs to accept latest...
Curiously, it seems the processor I have (n2800) does admit 64bit architecture, yet when I tried the boot thing I got a warning that it didn't.
Will read around a bit more.
This is useful, thanks, I will have a look.
It's the EeePC Flare 1025CE, FWIW. I'm happy with the idea of upgrading, but the concern is the availability of still updated 32bit systems.
Hi all
I have an old Asus Eee PC netbook. It's been running lubuntu since 2014 but has been largely unused for the past few years. I've read recently that, contrary to what Asus says, it IS possible to upgrade RAM and memory on this device and other users report that it then runs much faster...
