My last install was on a pent 4 single core with hyper threading, 3.2GHz, 4GB's of ram, onboard graphics, and a spinning platter hard drive. I am able to stream 720HD off YouTube smoothly, which I use as a test for usefulness on the internet. If it can do that it will work for an average user that only browses, checks emails, Facebook,...etc. It is very snappy. I can only imagine it would fly on a later model machine. I highly recommend it for older machines that would otherwise be near useless on the internet. Was this review helpful?

It has that solid debian base, and whatever your preference, debian just feels rock solid and trustworthy.. My 64 bit plasma version starts up at 456 mb , pretty light in my book, and therefor fast.Everything works smoothly. One major con, i did try their windows installer on a windows 10 desktop and laptop, and both times it crashed on reboot. They sort of make the old wubi installer a selling point, so that is why this distro gets an 8 instead of a 9 Was this review helpful?

I tried a few distros on it and this one has worked very well. Information for most things is avaialable online so it has been possible to tweak things like the touchpad so that it is usable. The usual software, Libre office, Gimp, VLC, Firefox seem to have no problem on it. I have Wine installed too and that is running Sync from sync.com without issue. The desktop is near enough to windows for it not to be a rite of passage to get things done. I suppose the best thing I can say is that the laptop is in use often and I can actually use it to do things that I want to do in the way that I want to do them. That sounds obvious but so many other OSs that I've tried didn't allow that. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 159 reader reviews of Q4OS...
