This downloads quickly, installs without problem or complicated issues. When running on my laptop it is fast, responsive and ideal for typing, surfing the internet and email. It also worked great on my lenovo thinkpads. It is very intuitive at every stage and the whole OS just forms a nice logical unit. One can choose KDE, but I have found the Trinity desktop environment very light and easy, so I just stick to it. There are also some small look changes one can make that is rather nice.

Intel Core2 Duo (August 2006) Designed for Windows XP + ¨Windows Vista Capable¨:) The computer was manufactured in January 2007, so it is almost 17 years old. I switched from XP to Lubuntu 32 bit in 2018, but that is because I assumed it was 32 bit, when it was in fact a 64 bit. It was running slow with Lubuntu 32 bit, but it was very stable, and I used it as a daily driver for at least two years. When Lubuntu stopped 32 bit support, I loaded Linux Lite, which worked beautifully. Because the graphics could not work with what I needed to do for my job, I had to retire it. I finally decided I would try and rescue it and see if I might try another distribution. I plan to use it as my living room music computer. I tried to install latest version of Linux Lite, because when I tried an update of Linux Lite after having stored the laptop for a year, it did not want to update. Linux Lite installation froze several times despite me trying various ways to get it to ¨learn¨ and ¨unfreeze¨ itself. I put Bodhi in it, and it would not even get off the ground. I tried Q4OS, and behold, it works. I am giving it a 9, not because it is so wonderful, but because if I give it an 8, it will be akin to Linux Lite, but Linux Lite no longer works with it, and I cannot rate it lower than Bodhi, since Bodhi did not work. So 9 it is:) I have been using Linux as my daily driver since 2009, so I guess I am no longer a newbie:) I only use Windows or Apple if it is forced upon me by someone else. Was this review helpful?
