xfce is much better than lxde, but make sure you don't have screen tearing (because xfce, lxde and mate usually do). Open the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvIbVmCOxg, if you see the lines tearing like this (pic related) then do the following:
1. open the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and paste this "sudo apt install compton".
2. go to settings->session and startup->application autostart, here select "add". paste the following into the command box "compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --vsync opengl-swc", name it whatever you want and hit OK.
3. go to settings->window manager tweaks->compositor, disable the display compositing. after doing this reboot your PC.

i had a latitude d620 with 512 of ram given to me 2 years ago. i put mint xfce 32 on it and it was a miserable experience

so so so so slow

5minute battery
non pae 32bit cpu

also pata hdd died in 2 months after giving it to a poorfag roomate - your hdd will fail - trust me - you wont be able to do so the ssd meme

it ended up in the trash... the d830 is where its at if you want dell meme machine

thanks bru. yeah there are jitters here and there, but nothing like the slideshows on Windows 7
can't figure out for the life of me why this thing jitters so much on Windows. this laptop has the same specs as my Asus A8F, yet that ran 7 just fine

I should do this after I've installed Xubuntu though, right?
still running from USB
also checked

>your hdd will fail
I'm sure it will... maybe sooner than I expect
so I'll beat this thing to the ground

I got this as a hand-me-down from my uncle so I don't have much choice with my rigs

Yes, after it's installed. But only if you get tearing like in the pic. Make sure to test it in fullscreen.

strange...
I'm at the installation menu now and I'm seriously considering just ditching Windows altogether

is there anything important I'll lose by getting rid of Windows?

>>61057856
No. There are alternatives to any software, example KolourPaint which is actually much better and more stable than paint on windows.

>>61057914
okay
I think I'm ready
I'll just reshrink my volume back first

Thank you, I've had compton installed forever but still got some minimal screen tearing. For some reason paint on overlay still gives me some tearing but removing it works fine.
