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?

Q4OS linux is very fast and intelligent linux distros. I tested many other linux distros but I wanted such distro that is minimal,fast and stable. I had only one problem with it that when I installed it with windows on dual boot system my grub menu showed me two choices to boot from either windows or Q4OS but after upgrade when I restarted my system I was offered no choice to boot from and directly booted into Q4OS. overall I am enjoying Q4OS ...

All other distros (including plain Debian) caused my computer to lock up after installing the priority Nvidia drivers for the RTX-3070 graphics card. The open-source, nonpriority drivers worked fine on most distros. Nobara was the second longest-lasting with the priority drivers, lasting a few weeks before it went to a black screen and wouldn’t boot up. Ubuntu lasted a few days. I tried almost every distro in the top 100 on Distrowatch, but I couldn't get anything else to work. Normally, Debian or openSUSE are exceptional, just not with my current laptop. If you have compatibility issues, especially with a Nvidia graphics card, I'd recommend checking out Q4OS. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 126 reader reviews of Q4OS...
