| penelope3 | Hi guys, I have got an old AMD Athlon 64bit processor here (3200+) with 1GB of RAM and would like to install Kubuntu on my machine. My question for this machine is: should I prefer the 64bit version of Kubuntu 14.04 or take the 32bit one, which is recommended on the website | 20:59 |
| lordievader | 32bit is fine, you won't notice any difference until you upgrade to 4+Gb RAM. | 21:00 |
| penelope3 | lordievader: but doesn't 64bit imply that more registers can be used, thus 64bit might be slightly faster? | 21:01 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: I'd say yes | 21:03 |
| lordievader | penelope3: It would be slighly faster, yes. But you won't notice the difference. | 21:03 |
| bprompt__ | 1gb of ram... isn't much.. why not settle for 12.04 maybe? :) | 21:04 |
| bprompt__ | or even some lighter | 21:05 |
| bprompt__ | s/some/&thing/ | 21:05 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: I installed Kubuntu 14.04 on my father's PC recently, and he was surprised how fast the system is compared to Windows Vista he had before. And I saw that around 600 MB was used by KDE, him having 2GB of RAM. | 21:06 |
| penelope3 | the nice thing was he didn't even feel a big difference between the two, since I always told him to use free software even on Win32 | 21:06 |
| penelope3 | difference in usability i mean | 21:07 |
| bprompt__ | well | 21:07 |
| penelope3 | bprompt: maybe xubuntu might be the better choice, but I really like KDE. | 21:07 |
| bprompt__ | he has 2gb of ram though :) 14.04 has more overhead as I can tell than 12.04, thus a 1gb will fare better with 12.04 than 14.04, but sure, both would run | 21:08 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: I run kubuntu, but my window manager is LXDE | 21:08 |
| lordievader | If you don't do a lot of multitasking 1Gb should suffice. | 21:08 |
| bprompt__ | yeap.... depends on usage | 21:09 |
| lordievader | Well you can allways try. LXDE of XFCE is installed easily enough afterwards. | 21:09 |
| bprompt__ | I run..... quite a few amount of windows, sometimes the browser with about 20 tabs | 21:09 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: what is the point in using Kubuntu but running another DE? aren't the other distros better suited for LXDE/XFCE/openbox | 21:10 |
| bprompt__ | often times I should say =) | 21:10 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: speed for window management... I do run kde apps, thus | 21:10 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: interesting, always thought that you need the KDE framework (kdelibs and so on) to run Kate and the likes | 21:11 |
| lordievader | You do. | 21:12 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: you do, you just don't need the kde Desktop and Window Manager, kwin | 21:12 |
| lordievader | Same for gtk, you need a lot of gtk libs to run them. | 21:12 |
| bprompt__ | well | 21:12 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: do I need a lot of expert knowledge for that or can I choose to use another DE during Kubuntu installation? | 21:12 |
| bprompt__ | I run gtk apps too.... they don't require that much space wise really | 21:12 |
| lordievader | penelope3: You can even choose another DE after installation, Linux is flexible. | 21:13 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: nope, install kubuntu regular, then install LXWM window manager and if you want, also the LXDE desktop manager.... then you can pick the session to use "lxwm" | 21:14 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: nice, and then you can run Dolphin, Kate, and the other KDE SC applications with lxwm? | 21:14 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: would better fit my system then I guess, because I am afraid, if use firefox with a lot of tabs open, it will swap a lot, since 400 MB of free space for ff is probably not enough | 21:16 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: sure, you can pretty much run whatever from whatever window manager, a long while ago I used to run SuSE 10.2 I think it was... and I had gnome and kde both installed, and in the window, you could choose what "desktop manager" to use, and at the login screen, what "window manager" to use.... and I ran gtk and kde apps just find, heck I even ran a few xfce apps too, all the while I was using iceWM window manager o | 21:17 |
| bprompt__ | s/find/fine/ | 21:17 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: this flexibility really is the nice thing about Linux, the freedom to choose whatever you want | 21:18 |
| bprompt__ | yeap | 21:19 |
| bprompt__ | at some point in SuSE I had about 5 window managers installed | 21:19 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: probably I will go best using btrfs with my old disk, making use of defragmentation, so it is not used to heavily, and instead my processor is used more | 21:19 |
| penelope3 | s/defragmentation/compression ;) | 21:20 |
| bprompt__ | hmmm can't say I've experience much slowdown due to swap file access back then | 21:21 |
| bprompt__ | if any it was the cpu or the gpu | 21:21 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: so with lxde your memory consumption is below 200 MB, I guess (on startup without any programs running) | 21:23 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: using an ssd, makes a huge difference, speed wise | 21:23 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: very low, yes...I....don't check, at least at startup.... I have 6gbs here ddr3 | 21:24 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: I know, but it is just a playground machine, it was the machine I assembled myself a long time ago, but I don't want to shred it. | 21:24 |
| penelope3 | bprompt__: and since the motherbord does not support high speed rates, installing an SSD would probably not make much sense | 21:25 |
| yofel | it's not really speed rates, it's access time | 21:25 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: is it a pata? sata1? | 21:25 |
| bprompt__ | I assume that's a PATA.... thus there's no ssd for it then =) | 21:26 |
| penelope3 | is there a Linux command to check for the SATA standard supported by my mainboard? Running on sysresccd right now. wiping the drive... | 21:26 |
| bprompt__ | but access time is a huge boost | 21:26 |
| bprompt__ | opening a package the size of libreoffice, takes me 1sec.... yes, is not a typo, 1 sec | 21:27 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: maybe -> sudo lshw -C storage | 21:29 |
| penelope3 | looks like SATA I | 21:34 |
| penelope3 | so buying a cheap SSD for SATA I would make sense? | 21:34 |
| bprompt__ | penelope3: sure.... a cheapo 30gbs , yes | 21:38 |
