    Remember guys. It’s not your PC that’s sluggish, it’s Windows that is.
    Every Windows release gets more and more sluggish, that’s why minimum system requirements keep going up. While Linux minimum system requirements stays about the same.

    My current desktop outperforms many windows machines and has been doing so for nearly ten years because Linux.

    For current standards it’s borderline a potatoe. And the damn thing won’t call it quits.

    I started partially because of the second, now I’d never go back.

    (The main reason was Windows update that made me lose a full month of work.)

    Well, it’s not like I want to (although I do), it’s just that customizing whatever else is there on the market to my liking is either impossible or requires more time that I care to spend.

    Also, depends on devices. Not like I could install something else on a smartwatch with half a gig of ram, for example :)

      Yeah, I have my Lxqt desktop customised a bit like different icons and fonts, although I’d like to more (the pc having 3gb of ram is a serious limit).

      Specifically beacuse I want to have different layout compared to windows beacuse it’s a bit (well probably more than that) bad, especially the windows 11 one, I got to try that one out at my school).

      When I get a new computer I definitely want to try and install a different distro to try out the customisation.

      Well, I kinda dig this, I’m using lubuntu and it’s certainly better in some ways than windows, and I couldn’t play games on this thing anyway so it’s not like I’m loosing functionality, when I get a new pc I’ll certainly install some different distro and try it out

        Gotcha.

        I just installed lubuntu on an old laptop this weekend actually. It ran like a top but for me that desktop environment is clunky so I ended up using Fedora on that machine and so far it is working well. That machine has only a 32 gb HD… so my options were limited.

        I like gnome a lot personally, and one distro I’ve had a lot of luck with that comes with gnome by default is pop_os, so I would recommend that when you upgrade! Just as a generally well configured (and still lightweight when compared to windows) distro. Just about anything that supports Ubuntu runs on it without much if any fuss too
