#1 Post by torrex112 »

Hi there :wink:

So i have an old HP 630 with 4gb of ddr3 ram, a 2.2Ghz celeron dual core cpu and an intel GMA x4500 integrated GPU(its pretty Cr*p it can run Minecraft but only just).

I know you get lighter desktop environments but I like how Gnome looks. will it be fine?

Note: The laptop can run windows 10 but it does lag just a little bit, not much though.

sorry about my English if i messed up anywhere.

Should be fine, try at least. You can change DE later, if gnome feels to heavy.

I use xfce, which uses gtk as gnome. It is lighter, but still DE.

Opitons are many.

Will work. But IMO you'll be happier with something like MATE DE. It will run faster and cooler.
