The Live MATE link is 404. I managed to download Mate and Cinnamon somewhere else but both won't install or even boot. What is external SFS? Google search leads to " huaweicloud / external-sfs". If that's what you mean please explain.

...and Trisquel 8.0, Uruk 2.0, Fedora 29, Mint 18 and 19, Debian Live 9, Devuan 2.0, Sparky 5.3, Mageia 6, Porteus 4.0, Robo 8.11, Ubuntu MATE 18.04, Void (rolling), IGOS 12 Which one will run LibreOffice/OpenOffice most smoothly on a NON-PAE machine?

OK, i'll give Mate a try. Which release, which kernel?

Mint Cinnamon is mandatory

Hi, which is the latest Linux Mint Cinnamon version to run on a non-PAE machine with an Intel Pentium M cpu, SiS 661GX+ 963L chipset and 1GB DDR1 RAM? best regards, Blaubär

Thanks, but I don't have the COMPAQ no longer on my desk. I'm usually working with Debian based systems on much smaller machines :)

Thanks for your advice. I literally bought the SSD "for next to nothing" from a good friend. I don't think my girlfriend will be happy with XFCE since she's been using Windows for many years. The installed Mint as such isn't really lame once it's fully booted. May be it's just damaged or bad...

Thanks for your hints! I'll get that beast back tomorrow and will run the systemd-analyze as suggested. I bought the old Compaq from Ebay for a girlfriend to quickly replace her defunct Thinkpad T60. It works if you are patient enough, but it's not fun. It not only boots slowly but also the...

Hi all, I'll try to pick up an old unresolved thread here beause I've got exactly the same issue, except that I'm using Mint 19.3 (Cinnamon). Maybe there are some new answers by now. Here's my inxi: System: Host: COMPAQ Kernel: 5.3.0-46-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.5.0...
