Even though windows 10/11 says it can run on 4GB of ram, it's terrible to try to use. (sorry @windows11-official)

@linuxmint-official is a great starter distro and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the system

so, i've been using linux for less than a day, and honestly? i'm never going back to windows.

everything is so smooth! my gifs and videos load without any lagging or buffering! i can multitask and code while having a youtube video or anime on in the background! the people in my phone show up on the top right as discord notifications and it's so fun! everything runs as it should, and using my laptop is fun again. i used to have a lot of anxiety with windows as my previous laptop blue screen 4 separate times. so having everything smooth is a blessing.

even typing this now, it's not lagging. on windows the words would come up a few seconds after you hit the keys. here they're acting as they should! and i haven't tried steam yet but i hope that's a fun experience too.

for my low end 4GB ram laptop i definitely think this was needed. i'm kinda bonking my head over not doing it sooner. but i'm here now and i'm never going back. i'm now swearing loyalty to linux it seems. (but dw, i won't annoy people about switching.)

currently i'm running linux mint mate, but if i feel like i can get even more ram, i'll switch to xfce. for now mate is meeting all my standards and requirements

*clapping noises*

If I seemed to have been quieter the last few days, it's because my Windows PC crashed, and I couldn't get it recovered. So I gave up and switched to Linux. It took me a couple days to get the drivers working, but I think (hope) I'm up and running again!
