How did you start using the Linux operating system?
MS forced me due to Windows 10&11How did you start using the Linux operating system?
How did you start using the Linux operating system?
I started maybe a very different way from most others: I bought a Win11 compatible machine second hand, foreseeing the possibilities for the near future, replaced the pitiful 256GB nvme with 1TB nvme and after a brief asking around I tried LMDE. LMDE is still my main consideration for my more modern systems, but since then I also revamped my 2007 Asus laptop, did some basic hardware upgrades and cleaning, repasting (thanks to youtube guys showing me how), and played around... I firstly thought it can only run 32bit system, but soon I realised 64bit is also an option and I have noticed the limitations of a spinning HDD for youtube performance, so SSD sata drive will go there to get the max out of the old hardware. Might put back Wilma distro on SSD, because even Linux MX struggles with youtube on HDD, despite RAM upgrade to 4GB. Now I am preparing to switch my Win10 computer to LMDE as well, and will probably just clone my set up from the Win11 laptop, where I also have a virtual machine and Win11 installed in it, my Win10 supposedly compatible with Win11, if I needed this OS for some rare software that doesn't have a support in Linux. I just need to set up that Win11 in the VM to stay on the 23 version, not to upgrade to 24. Too many people have problems with it to my taste. Microsoft is becoming a joke.How did you start using the Linux operating system?
That is more likely to be the onboard GPU not good enough for modern HD format, [try reducing the quality of the download stream] to say 144pbecause even Linux MX struggles with youtube on HDD, despite RAM upgrade to 4GB
I did the same on an old machine, the difference was definitely noticeable, if you feel LMDE is a tad slow on this machine , try Linux-LiteI firstly thought it can only run 32bit system, but soon I realised 64bit is also an option and I have noticed the limitations of a spinning HDD for youtube performance, so SSD sata drive will go there to get the max out of the old hardware.
I did that, it is too blurry for me. I have Wilma on an ssd sata and I remember youtube worked well on that one, even without significantly reducing the quality of the video. Just that was 1TB sata drive, which I consider unreasonable for this machine, so planning a smaller one for that purpose and using the 1TB as a storage for backups in an enclosure.That is more likely to be the onboard GPU not good enough for modern HD format, [try reducing the quality of the download stream] to say 144p
