| saj | I was wondering if Ubuntu Budgie was suitable for an old computer (8 years old) and a novice user? | 12:24 |
| fossfreedom_ | saj: Hi | 12:41 |
| fossfreedom_ | how much ram has the PC ? | 12:41 |
| saj | 2GB | 12:43 |
| fossfreedom_ | what is the processor ? | 12:44 |
| saj | It is an AMD one. I think it has 2 cores. and a Nvidia graphics card | 12:45 |
| fossfreedom_ | yep - it should work. budgie-desktop is very easy to use. Our welcome app should be useful. My advice - write the ISO to a USB stick and boot with it. Check graphics/networking etc works for you. Have a look around - especially the welcome app. | 12:48 |
| fossfreedom_ | 17.04 is launched on April 13th | 12:48 |
| fossfreedom_ | alternatively - you could try 16.04.2 - our latest version based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS edition | 12:49 |
| saj | How does it compare to Lubuntu and Xubuntu in terms of resources used? | 12:51 |
| fossfreedom_ | it sits between xubuntu and ubuntu gnome/unity | 12:52 |
| saj | Thanks for the advice I will give it a crack. | 12:59 |
