I used it until very recently. It's not that bad, unless you're one of those people who keeps dozens of opened tabs forever. My experience was pretty smooth, to be honest. I did some academic works on such a machine and often had several tabs opened at once, each with a different paper opened, along with google drive and stuff opened at the same time, and got no issues.
Hey, a core 2 duo with 3gb of ram isn't crappy! :D
I used to monitor a few things using it, but now they're all asking for captchas due to ai companies crawling everything :(
Another interesting question:
How much energy and resources would we save by simply slowing down Ai usage? A lot of the time people make unnecessary prompts or receive unhelpful generated text, and sure, it looks impressive, but most of the time you don't need it at all.
Funny how you need more and more technical knowledge to go deeper into privacy, until the last level, which is basically giving up on technology itself.
That means they support Hannah Montana Linux
That's what you get when you require users to get a new device in order to run newer software. I would gladly run the newest version, if I could just update my os, but since I can't, I will be running this old version for as long as I have to...
In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it's so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)
At first, I thought it was some sort of iot washing machine that stopped working due to software error lol.
As someone who worked (trying to) teaching people how to use computers, I can tell you that windows isn't user friendly. People just got used to it. I had a far easier job when teaching how to use android and a gnome gui.
I have a theory about small phones:
I see so many people asking for smaller phones, and, at the same time, the sales aren't very good when companies give it a try. How can both be true?
I believe (from my anedoctal observations) that small phone users tend to be people who don't want to replace their phones just for the sake of getting a newer one, and use their devices for several years, resulting in fewer sales than expected.
Maybe you wanted to answer to the original comment? I was mostly ironizing it and mentioning a reduction in overall usage.
