Hi, my mom have an old laptop and is working really slow. I want to improve my mom's experience. She just use it to browse the web; check emails, read articles, maybe some video. I want to ask you what OS you recommend to install.
Here is the situation:
HARDWARE<br/>
Toshiba Satellite C655 (2011ish)
- CPU Intel Pentium T4500 @ 2.30GHz
- Video LP156WH2-TLAA (1366x768@60Hz)
- 2GB RAM
- 230 GB
SOFTWARE
- Windows 10 (pre-installed, upgraded to 10 trough the years), zero extra apps on startup.
- Recently installed a clean Ubuntu 21.10 in dual boot.
- She uses Firefox with Ublock Origin.
EXPERIENCE
It is just really slow.
Windows is a nightmare, like 10 seconds to display the start menu, ages to open Firefox and do stuff, even typing gets delayed sometimes. I installed Ubuntu to see if it gets better, it feels more snappy, now she is using that, but still slow to respond and interact.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: Sorry I don't know how to do line breaks here instead of paragraphs. The post is messed up.
