Does using rdx benefit Reddit at all? I don’t have a Reddit account anymore but I sometimes check it with rdx but I think im ready to cut ties altogether.

KDE user here. Never used gnome, why is it an issue?

Okay thanks. Yeah, the SSDs and 16gb of ram should mitigate speed issues. My main hesitation is the older CPUs in these. They’re not very future-proof and we are going to run windows 11 professional on them. With OS updates i can see them getting sluggish. They should be fine for a few years but can’t see them lasting much longer than 4-5 years. I suppose that’s fine for the price-point though

Hope this is okay to post here? Not sure which instance i should post it to.

Are these good pcs for classroom use? Basically teachers would just use them for presentations (PowerPoint, Google slides, libreoffice, etc), web browsing, YouTube videos, etc.

Considerations are, speed, ease of use, and future profing.

Anyone have any experience with these machines? Looking at this kind of spec:

I literally just beat the final boss last night, haha. I didn’t solo them, I just tanked-up and used mimic. They looked like bullshit and after stubbornly soloing Rellana I figured life is too short. With mimic, heavy armour, a great shield and blood antspur rapier it was fine. I’d like to solo them when I have a machine that runs the game better in future. My Xbox one x was chugging so I wasn’t trying to solo them in an unstable frame rate

After what feels like 100 tries Rellana is down. With 1hp to spare 😳

Thanks for the advice re: management. Definitely something we’ll need to plan for.

Yeah, I said they’re “useless as is”, because they’re running an outdated OS, have internet explorer on them, etc. the hardware is obviously far from useless but getting it to a good place in terms of user experience for a younger audience will involve a time investment. So yes, useless as is.

I’ll be watching tomorrow as I can’t tonight, hope I can avoid spoilers!

 

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on the machines and making them somewhat usable for a web browsing experience for students? They’re useless as is, running ancient windows OS’s. We’re talking pre-7th gen i5’s and in some cases pentium machines here.

Might be pointless but wonder what you guys think?
