Peppermint OS Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• on an old budget laptop, what nonessential things can I delete to make Linux Mint run smoother?

  My first choice is always Peppermint OS. Peppermint has worked really well on just about everything I've thrown it on, uses XFCE desktop (generally great for older hardware), and doesn't come with a bunch of stuff preinstalled that you'll not likely use. It's Debian-based, so you'll feel familiar in the environment since you've been using Mint. Source: about 1 year ago

• [newbie] Can I / Should I live boot Arch from a USB flash drive on a C2D with GMA965 without internal storage, solely for YouTube and Netflix?

  IMHO: * running arch off a live USB is "terrible choice" (e.g., no GUI, all command line, ...). There probably is no worse way to learn Linux (or Arch). * running of a live USB installer mean you have no disk persistence (i.e. All your setup is lost on each reboot) unless you specifically create a persistent live installer which only a few distros support. * adding a 40GB HDD would be advisable; adding a 40GB SSD...
