17? As in 2007? What are the specs on that thing? You running a lightweight linux distro on it? Surely you have an SSD in there and have upgraded the ram.

linux on an ssd without a DE goes hard as fuck on anything that has no beans in it what so ever.

WM are the shit.

I can run KDE just fine on a ThinkPad T61 from 2007

It's interesting how light KDE has gotten. It used to be the big, bloated desktop environment that you wouldn't even try using on old hardware. It seems to have traded places with GNOME.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Gnome isn't really bloated either. I've seen people run Gnome on a T400 (2008)

probably? Kde is a little spicy, but i'd be surprised if it wasn't usable to be honest.

I mean it's not like I have a choice. If I stop using KDE then Konqi will come to my house at night and kill me in my sleep. I've sold my soul to them

i've used KDE for 4 years, jumped off prior to KDE6 to move to i3wm, and he hasn't killed me yet.

I'm also a furry, so that's probably why.

TL;DR just be a furry and it won't be a problem lmao.

It's a ThinkPad T61 running Gentoo. I upgraded it to 4GB of RAM and an SSD. Works fine with 10 browser tabs and youtube
