What's the best Linux DE for a technically retarded BFU with an old trash laptop (1GB of RAM)? I'm looking for something that doesn't miss any important features, yet isn't comically bloated like GNOME or KDE, or doesn't have settings all over the place. I've been thinking of Budgie or LXQT. Any experiences? I've personally only used both in under two hours.
One man's bloat is another man's features.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm pretty sure someone who doesn't even know what RAM is is going to find a use for 300 submenus to change your window title fonts.

Are you using the "-ck" patchset?

Don't, just let her live a carefree social life.
Forcing ur daughteru to get into computers will alienate her from girls her age and she'll turn to jerking around men like you for free attention.

Explain this Microsoft shills. This is the allegedly '''good''' version of Windows.
>>61046615
Let's turn the tables shall we? A failure to update a Linux dist, particularly dists like Arch would've yielded a completely unusable system.
>>61046615
It's not our fault that you're too retarded to use Windows lmao
the good version of Windows is 10, retard.

7 drive domino. Will the rest fall if I push the refurbished Seagate 3TB in front that came Dead On Arrival back from "repair"?
This powerful piece of technology with an Athlon 3000 has two working 80 GB IDE harddrives.
9 drive domino????
Free the drives !!!
Freeing the 80 GB HDDs for domino purposes and replacing them with a working 500 GB IDE and a working Western Digital 250 GB from 2003 that I had lying around for some reason actually upgrades the powerful Athlon 3000 making it even better!!!
/g/,can you give me an honest opinion on these monitors?
I will use them mostly for programming and watching videos, but I also want to be able to play vidya.
Specwise, they are all matte flickerfree ips panels, FullHd (except the last one) and have decent reaction times.

To answer something:
>Oh great ANOTHER general like we need another one
I use to make this around around a week. I didn't feel like it for the last 2 months is why.
I've used Renoise for 6 years. I've thought about switching but whenever I try out a demo I get bored and frustrated.
In fact I'm going through a demo testing phase right now. And the one thing I'm noticing is how shitty the UIs all look now. Flat crap that looks like an early 00s video game.
