| travis_ | I just installed Lubuntu and I went to Software & Updates I was wondering about the additinal drivers it says unknown: Unknown Using processor Microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from amd64-microcode(proprietary) : This device is not working but Do not use the device is selected do I leave it or can I use it | 21:53 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | travis_: in general, you don't need to bother with those additional drivers unless you're having some other problem or are looking for some feature only possible through the proprietary software. | 21:54 |
| travis_ | When I use Windows sometimes I don't have lag like a little studder when I use Lubuntu but it not bad but I was wondering I can still use the computer find... But I just did not understand : wxl: | 21:56 |
| wxl | travis_: it's probably more related to other factors. i wouldn't use the additional drivers. | 21:56 |
| wxl | travis_: this might be instructive https://askubuntu.com/questions/613579/unknown-additional-driver-processor-microcode-firmware-for-intel-cpus-for-intel | 21:58 |
| travis_ | wxl: other thing I was trying to install updates and my computer just shut down when I was installing software updates I don't know why it been happing to me when i use Windows I installed Lubuntu because of this problem I don't understand why I have a old computer its a Satellite Toshiba its a old computer but I don't really understand why it just shuts down... | 21:58 |
| wxl | travis_: if the computer shuts down randomly, it's most likely from the cpu getting overheated. this may be because your fans have gone bad. | 22:17 |
| travis_ | wxl: Thanks does it help if I have Lubuntu on this computer | 22:19 |
| travis_ | wxl: if the cpu is bad | 22:19 |
| wxl | travis_: lubuntu can't fix broken, but it does use less resources, in general, than other alternatives | 22:20 |
| travis_ | wxl: Ya I do understand how much will it be to replace or get a new computer that I can run Lubuntu | 22:21 |
| travis_ | a cheap laptop | 22:21 |
| wxl | travis_: there's plenty of options in the used market. see your local electronics recycler. | 22:21 |
| wxl | travis_: lubuntu has the lowest amount of resource requirements for a supported, full-featured operating system (citation needed) XD | 22:22 |
| travis_ | Cool so if I buy this one it will work https://goo.gl/SXs6u9 : wxl: | 22:26 |
| wxl | travis_: looks like a speed machine :) | 22:28 |
| travis_ | I would love to have something like that it really cheap to I just type in Dell Refurbished I live in a little hick town hillybilleys everywere so they are not going to now about any computers its depressing lol | 22:29 |
