Why is Puppy Linux so light weight? I'm sitting here on a 233MHZ processor, with 128MB RAM, no hard drive, and it's still snappy af.

The difference is that Windows 7 is usable, unlike Puppy Linux.

>WOW GUYS WHY IS THIS OS SO SNAPPY ON HARDWARE FROM THE YEAR IT WAS RELEASED?

You should clean your case and fans anyway.

Just wait a month or two...

You go champ

>>55272565
What are you talking about? Are you projecting your angst onto me because I made fun of your meme? Come on, figure your life out.

>>55272263
Have you used it? Can you explain why it is unusable?

>>55272201
Have you applied many updates?

Win 7 when tweaked properly is pretty responsive, but Debian with XFCE has it beat.

Windows 8 can be pretty good too under the right settings.

>Have you applied many updates?
He can't, it's unlicensed. What is it about the updates that fucks up the performance so badly, though?

>>55272687
Would you choose performance or security?

>>55272712
That depends, but still what is it? Security updates can't be that demanding, they shouldn't really change anything.

>>55272687
I couldn't tell you exactly, but Windows 7 with a full set of updates will be noticeably slower on the same hardware compared to a fresh OEM install.

>>55272201

Because it's the best PC OS ever made :3

both vista and 8 are faster.

false

Vista is basically win7

>>55272944
I'd reinstall Vista if I could, desu. But the software I need doesn't support it.

>>55273079
Hm. 99% of software that supports 7 also supports vista, but i've seen some specimen which don't work

>>55272946
Not false, well known fact. You can look it up yourself.

>>55273099
I need Ableton in particular. I don't feel like searching for the last version of Live 9 that supports Vista since I had enough troubling finding a decent torrent for the latest.

Well, on my PC I get the same results. It's not the first time I hear this complaint though..
