I have an old laptop which didn’t exactly have top of the line specs when I bought it back in 2016. It does, however, run Ubuntu pretty competently (yes I know there are better distros, no I am not going to use them). It was cheap. As in it came with a Celeron in 2016 cheap, so it isn’t the speediest little guy.
All that said, a lightweight browser is the goal. I currently use Firefox which is ok but any improvement in speed is ideal. I’m not doing anything crazy with this thing so as long as I can do some basic web browsing I’m happy.
I used Midori back in the day but it wasn’t exactly…stable at the time. After that I stuck with Firefox. Still, I’m hopeful there’s something better out there. Any advice from the veterans out there is appreciated.
links is pretty lightweight. All joking aside, I’d look at adding RAM to it if possible. That’s probably going to help the most.
