    Correction: Microsoft always had the subscription service for ESUs since Windows 7. Not many needed it tho since most had already switched to 10. The issue now is that not near as many people has switch to windows 11 as people from 7-10.

    You forgot Tiny Core Linux. Its one of the lightest distros out there, so lightweight in fact it runs almost entirely in RAM and not regular storage

    By watching all of your laptop videos I optimised my dell Inspiron for upto a smooth playable performance thanks 😊

    Maybe try a Fedora Spin. If you look at fedora again, don't forget to install RPM Fusion and all the proprietary codecs and firmwares from them too, that will make performance way better and actually make it usable on the daily. Maybe try the Cinnamon or XFCE variant. Linux Mint is also great for low end laptops.

    OHHHHH. I'm a GNU/Linux user and I really appreciate that.

    I've used Manjaro and EndeavorOS, but I've never heard of CachyOS. Thanks for showing off this distro, I'll have to try it out sometime! Also, having the F3 menu open will lower your frame rate, so you could use an FPS counter mod to see the performance without hindering it.

    The fact that MY laptop lagged when you where rendering for example is crazy
  • @Luciletunn
    your videos are a perfect example of how to blend education with fun!

    1:50 They did a very similar thing with Windows 7 for large organizations.

    it's time for the ultimate mod after Linux: removing that wireless card and using an external GPU with a cheap AliExpress adapter. Good series, keep it up!

  • @aurastrike

    5:00 afaik puppy linux is meant to have such a low footprint that you can load the entire os into ram if you want and still barely use any ram at all. of note, puppy linux isn't just one distro, it's a collection of many official and unofficial flavors, which are meant to cater to different needs, and have different user interfaces, but adhere to the same core philosophies. so it's possible there's a flavor of Puppy Linux out there that fits your use-case better, and there's definitely one out there with a better user interface
