Hi all
I know my computer is old but this is only one I have.
Please suggest me a Desktop environment for Debian I should use on this computer with core 2 duo with 3 GB ddr2 ram.
I will really appreciate if someone can post a chart/table where I can see ram consumption by each D.E .
Thank you

The launch of the M1 Pro and M1 Max shows how far Apple has come in developing silicon on its own .Intel is still sticking with old x86 architecture which has no future IMHO .

in recovery mode i can boot into gui using startx

Do you have anything in /etc/network/interfaces.d/setup ? The Live installer seems to be adding some entries which try to bring network interfaces up a boot time. https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=149596 Mine has auto lo iface lo inet loopback au...

I have an old computer a Pentium 4 with 1 GB ram . I am looking to install Debian on it . what is the difference between LXDE and LXQT which one is better .

BTW thank you Debian Devs for still supporting 32 bit architecture

And you reused my couch from the 80's :shock: :D Come on, be nice. This is an international forum, and we all come from countries with different fashions and standards of living. Not everyone has sofas costing 3.000 Euros, nor should they. No problem he said in a light mode IMO . We call them Sofa ...

Nice :) That computer seems to need some TLC ;) I tried Mint18.3 on a similar one, it took forever to even do the install... and boot with IDE hard drive.. it was painful :D What is your boot time on that computer? Boot time is a bit longer and computer is a bit slow .what can you expect from an ol...

Here is my ancient Dell Optilex GX260 Pentium 4 with only 1 GB ram running Debian 10 Mate happily

That type of hardware is ancient by current standards, software developers are not designing for 10yr old pc's ... actually it's 15-19 years old, depending on the CPU model - it's a dinosaur ;) @ asifnaz I think that the main problem is low RAM capacity - what is the swap usage? (check the output o...

Debian LXQT is running very slow on Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM . In 2010 I could use Debian Gnome 2 on same hardware very well .
Why its been bloated over these years .
Any Suggestions

You'll probably be disappointed in modern web browsing on that machine, but it could be used for DVD and video playback, as long as it's not really HD, as well as basic stuff like email and word processing. I'd recommend using non-browser video streamers like Minitube or SMTube if you want to watch...

Hi, A friend of mine donated me this Pentium 4 PC with 1024 MB of RAM .It was not working and giving me beep . I had to clean RAMs with pencil eraser and had to reset CMOS(remove CMOS battery and remove power cable press power button to discharge any stored current) . I was thinking I dont have a Li...

I dont understand why it is seen as video promotion . Before in a discussion I mentioned that presentation and I was told he said Unix-like not Linux like . Nobody believed me . I came across the video again and thought it must be worth talking with proof . BTW Linux is Unix clone but not Unix-like ...

I posted on some Linux related forums that in first ever Mac OS X presentation Steve Jobs said it is "Linux like" operating system . Almost all replies were no he said "Unix-like" . Now I have found that video again .Please listen at 3:00 and let me know the context https://www.y...
