Re: [orca-list] Accessible distros

Hi

I’m with kyle on this one. On a machine like this, a more resource friendly desktop, like mate, or gnome flashback, if that’s what it’s called these days will work wonders. Ubuntu mate is an option although I’m not sure how resource efficient their inidicator stuff is, although it’s probably much better than any windows version, which tends to pack every possible feature one could possibly need, most of them meaning nothing to most users into an installation.

Thanks

Kendell Clark

I pity the person who has to run even 7 on such a machine. I upgraded the OS on
a similar machine that was running 7. Took somewhere around 5 to 7 minutes just
to boot up. As resource intensive as it can be, GNOME was a huge improvement on
that machine. But I still wouldn't run anything virtualized on it. Your best bet
on a machine like this is to run a dual-boot configuration.
