Is it avaiable on debian repos?
I got the icons and themes directly from a Mint install on another machine (cause I couldnt find these online) ๐
Not sure, but this one is a 2007 piece of art
Actually.. You're right about the 21st century lmao. I just wanted an excuse to quote Metal Gear Solid
Also, the issue is not ram itself, of course, 2GB is enough for lots of fun on Linux, it's the CPU that's killing me
I didnt have the intention to compete, was just proud of seeing this 2007 laptop running a modern OS again!
But why would a 1.6 ghz, single core CPU not be low end in 2025? Perfomance itself is very sluggish, and it has only been able to do very simple offline tasks for now. Yeah, yeah, many people used to run 512mb ram and 500mhz cpu setups.. But that was in 2000 and whatever.
Do you daily drive htop or something? ๐
Haha, I've been used to 4gb ram minimum for most of my life ๐
Ikr? Makes me wonder what that celeron was meant for? It barely ran the Win 7 that came preinstalled. That's why I'm so happy to see it run modern Debian with modern packages. Also why I'm doing some research on CPUs to upgrade it to
Pretty close tho
Oh, I tried.. But the CPU/GPU is just TOO slow for that, SNES was the best I could do
Single core, 32 bit CPU, can't even do video playback on VLC. But it kinda works for some offline work, like text editing, and even emulation through zsnes! It's crazy how Linux keeps old hardware like this running.
Thankfully though, this laptop CPU is upgradable, and so is the ram, so I'm planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century ๐
I tried out most (if not all) of the music players on flathub, but I always end up going back to Rhythmbox. It's so simple, lightweight, got just enough features (for my use case) and blends well with GTK Desktops (I mostly use Gnome and Cinnamon) and it looks so clean in my Nord theme ๐
How has your experience with Rhythmbox? do y'all got any alternative you think everybody should give a try? I personally think Elisa is a close second!
Icons: Qogir-dark WM Theme: Nordic (Otis) for cursor, I enjoy "Bibata Modern Ice"
I managed to run Office 2007 and Office 2010, the latter requiring the winbind package to be installed.
But both of these are quite old, so Libreoffice seems more reliable to use anyway.
I managed to install Office 2013 (sometimes with success, sometimes not) and it ran close to perfectly, if it wasnt for the pop up menus disappearing :(
