Also Asus netbook + Ubuntu
I've found unity is a bit heavy for my poor little netbook, and have found xfce a bit better for performance.
I use Linux mint (which is based on Ubuntu) for my main dev machine. The only limitation I've had with it is video- it can't handle the goPro stuff very well.
- higherpurpose 12y agoYou might like Linux Lite for a netbook (based on 14.04 LTS): https://www.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite.html https://www.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite.html
- dhimes 12y agoLooks good- thanks for that.
- vivab0rg 12y agoAlso ASUS netbook + Ubuntu LTS, flawless for years, to this day. Now it's mostly elementaryOS (also based off Ubuntu LTS) on every desktop/notebook, works just as well and it feels even lighter. I've been using every LTS release since the first ever, and I can't praise it enough. Keep up the good work!
- forca 12y agoWhat do you think of Midori as a daily browser (assuming you didn't apt-get something else)? I think it's a decent browser, it's only drawback is it's single-threaded.
- wlesieutre 12y agoI use Midori on Linux and IE on Windows because of the scrolling. IIRC Firefox is doing decently with scrolling on OS X with Apple's trackpads, but it doesn't work as well with the same trackpad in elementaryOS (or with the touchscreen in Windows). Midori works perfectly. From my experience, scrolling well is a bigger deal than how many threads it has for whether or not I like using a browser. I know there are stability advantages to the process separation, but I haven't had any trouble.
