| Newb | Hi guys. The site says to pick 32bit for old computers. My laptop is old-ish with weak specs but has 64bit | 09:29 |
| Newb | What should i pick? | 09:29 |
| hateball | Newb: what CPU do you have, and how much RAM? | 09:31 |
| hateball | If you have at least 2GB ram, I'd say go for 64-bit | 09:31 |
| Newb | It's just dualcore 2.20ghz with 4gb ram. 64bit then? | 09:32 |
| Newb | Thanks, i guess the 64bit i was referrig to was my windows installation lol | 09:33 |
| hateball | Newb: yea 64-bit for sure | 09:33 |
| hateball | if you intend to run something like google chrome, that only has 64-bit builds these days for instance | 09:33 |
| Newb | Awesome thank you. I tried out linux mint but it's preeeetty laggy. Hoping this one's alright :) | 09:34 |
| hateball | Newb: define laggy? If it's UI lagginess, that could be if the DE uses 3D effects | 09:36 |
| hateball | and you have a slow GPU or so | 09:36 |
| Newb | I see. Mostly the apps freeze sometimes and takes a log time to react per click. I haven't updated the software and drivers yet though, but when i did try it still took forever so i figured I'll try out anoher distro. | 09:37 |
| hateball | Newb: What GPU does the machine have? | 09:38 |
| hateball | Intel/AMD/nVidia | 09:38 |
| leszek | Newb: should run more fluid on lubuntu also because it uses zram so more stuff can be stored in ram | 09:38 |
| leszek | Newb: in general if you have the option upgrade to an ssd. They are cheap nowadays and do miracles | 09:39 |
| hateball | yes, SSD is probably the single biggest upgrade you can give your machine | 09:39 |
| Newb | It' one of those onboard intel graphics but the ones older than HD, actually have little idra. I have high hopes for lubuntu though since it's talked up as lightweight. In any case I'll retreat to puppy linux if it still won't do haha | 09:40 |
| Newb | I think lubuntu will work though. I remember running regular ubuntu alright with this laptop | 09:41 |
| leszek | Newb: ah extreme graphics 4500 something like that | 09:42 |
| leszek | Newb: pro tip don't use sna acceleration on them. With SNA acceleration it runs slow as hell | 09:42 |
| Newb | I'll keep that in mind. Thanks all! | 09:43 |
| leszek | Newb: just a sec I am searching for my Xorg.conf on my older laptop which switches to uxa or exa (I don't know exactly but the better acceleration for these older chips) | 09:43 |
| hateball | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2182033 | 09:43 |
| leszek | ah exactly hateball was quicker | 09:44 |
| Newb | Thanks! Bookmarked it on phone. Definitely sounds like it would have been a headache incoming. Thanks! | 09:45 |
| hateball | My google-fu is hard to beat ;p | 10:19 |
| craigbass76 | I am on a livecd, and there's no ifconfig command. What's the alternative? | 16:52 |
| leszek | iw | 16:53 |
| craigbass76 | See an ip too. Today's the first I've heard of ifconfig getting deprecated | 17:29 |
| craigbass76 | I miss Dapper... :) | 17:29 |
