Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on the machines and making them somewhat usable for a web browsing experience for students? They’re useless as is, running ancient windows OS’s. We’re talking pre-7th gen i5’s and in some cases pentium machines here.
Might be pointless but wonder what you guys think?
I think they’re the same. It’s FF that it’s problematic with ram usage.
whoa there them’s fightin’ words
I think an awful lot of people would disagree with you on that one
Do the calculations yourself, because I have.
I have, and so have many others, which is why we disagree.
But why install chromium with spyware instead just chromium?
My mom and my family used chrome before, and they’re used to its bells and whistles. I personally use firefox.
