NMGLugers, What do you consider system requirements in 2020? I recently had a personal lapse in common sense by trying to upgrade ram in an older Asus EEE. It was pointless. Negligible change in performance. I had a feeling I was wasting my time, but I "had to try." Really not worth the effort. And I repeated a similar effort on an older laptop last week. So, I ask you to think about what are the System Requirements for an adequately performing laptop? Processor- Hard drive- Memory- Ports- Accessories? I have some ideas and will share them when we meet next week or if there is interest here. I think we can encourage wider adoption of Gnu/Linux by clearly advising newcomers and thinking clearly ourselves about not just keeping an older machine alive, but really enabling new users to take advantage of the great software we love. Free Software is great for all the things people do with a computer and we can help them see it if we think about what truly works. Thank you, Ted P. _______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
