If he has a computer with an old hardware, why should he upgrade his operating system? Here we are not touching on the issue of security updates ...bester69 wrote:Nili, you're getting behind.. ..you should consider move fordward eventually
That's exactly right, Meanwhile, regarding security/updates, I am not much secrure at all, ofcourse i have taken some measures that is not enough, After all i can't do more than i can handle.None1975 wrote:If he has a computer with an old hardware, why should he upgrade his operating system?

When the hardware is old enought (13 years old), there is no reason to rush. However, the applications that i'm interest are moslty up to date due to compile.bester69 wrote:Nili, you're getting behind.. ..you should consider move fordward eventually
Interesting observation. And what is the specification of the new hardware?Nili wrote:the others new systems with a lot of memory and newest hardware are more slow in actions.
Exactly! I also use old hardware.Lastly, keeping something old at work is no longer a matter of trend, but the love for it.
When I said new in fact i mean new compared to the old I have since 2007, the new is Acer Aspire 5 (Core i3) 8GB MEM even this one is not the newest, contrary, i may call old aswell. Why is slow in actions? well, due to a lot of nowdays complexity. Only a Browser needs over 1GB, I was talking to a friend of mine and he was telling me, do you still use 8GB of RAM? He intended i should have 16GB ore more and DDR4 to swim quietly on the Internet or apps. At the same time i surprised him with Debian 8 (jessie) 20MB startup, 30MB file Manager 200MB Pale Moon 350MB BluRay M2TS via MPV within 450MB + a few cli apps together. He opened his eyes and didn't believe what saw, just after i told to check top, neofetch, free -m etc ... he hardly believed, said i have made a trick of fake the results, infact i have made some tricks to optimize system + apps, but never faked the results, he also not believe that Linux especially from 2005-2014 could be so lightly.None1975 wrote:Interesting observation.

My old DELL i don't like to mix with new systems. Ofcourse i can manage to run if i put more mem or change processor, but isn't worth really. There is almost none support for 2007 systems, Even things in the future may be removed from kernel the next spring cleaning. So updating is pointless now, Apps can be refreshed, with few difficulties. So, my Jessie is the last on the quarantine, i used to tweak for decade this old horse, he did the best he can. Stressed under 400MB with apps of 2GB MEM on total.None1975 wrote:Exactly! I also use old hardware.
