How can I make my laptop a little faster? - Lemmy.World

Well, it’s a Lenovo Ideapad S145 with an Intel Celeron and 4GB of RAM. I’m writing this on it. I want it to be slightly faster at browsing the internet. I use Chrome, I know that’s awful xD

Three steps:

  • If you can afford it, upgrade to a SSD.
  • Install Linux Mint XFCE or Fedora XFCE.
  • Use Min Browser. In my tests, with a netbook with an Atom processor and 2GB RAM, it’s infinitely faster than Firefox or any other Chromium.
  • Profit.

    Second Linux Mint. I have a Surface that absolutely slogged under Windows 10 with 4gb ram. Mint gave me a ton of headroom to work with.
