Trying to rescue a 1GB RAM laptop

maliciousonion@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 78 points –

I had an Aspire One D270 laptop with a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU and 1 gigabyte of RAM, so I installed Debian with Xfce on it, but even then it's running way too slow.

Is there anything I can do to make the laptop faster and more responsive given its limited memory?

Ohhh, the MSI Wind. One of my favorite devices, so much value for money. Loved it

Me too! I can't recall now why I parted with it, but I wish I hadn't. Would love to see what it could do today.
