Thanks for the help on moving /home. The little computer was working hard when Firefox was opened instead of messing with a swap partition I decided on Zram , it's not working quite as hard now, not the i/o problem I was having before but the CPU is working harder. I'll know more as I play with it. ...

I have forgotten how to move the home partition to a different drive, can someone point me to the "how to post" also this new lxde has no swapfile or home partition, just installed everything on one partition. Like I said been away awhile so not undated on the new file system, so things ma...

needed a OS to refurbish an old Dell NetBook 32bit. after trying 4 different Distos this on worked. Now I can stream and watch movies and not have to sit at the computer desk to do it switched to Lxde 19.3

This has worked for me along with some others on the page, you just have to remember to change Arch commands, to Ubuntu commands: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Optimized_power_settings[code]Adding advanced flags to the GRUB configuration file Make backup a default grub file: sudo cp /etc/...

Not sure if this will help or not. http://askubuntu.com/questions/344808/b ... iz-problem

What happens if you should need to re-install Windows 10 some time down the road after the free upgrade? - My guess is that after a year you would have to buy it. I was wondering the same thing. No doubt you would have to buy it if it needed to be reinstalled after the year. This is MS after all. I...

for the little info given. To help with the power settings: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Optimized_power_settings You may need to read it all first, then adapt to you distro and hardware. TLP is not in the Mint distro. You can get TLP doing this: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-po...

Might be some other things to consider too. See if this helps. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir6-2/Trusty

Here is what My netbook looks like with LinuxMint 17.1 KDE. I also have Chromium and Amarok running, Flash video and video files over about 720p doesn't do well,

I'm using Linux Mint 17.1 KDE on mine [see below] probably runs about the same as what you got. but 17.1 Mate would be lighter on your system.


If they have xfce it would be best.

Is this what you're looking for? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/controllin ... ian-linux/

Well Got LinuxMint 17.1 KDE installed

This help me out some. You might need to tailor it a bit for you system https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?titl ... r_settings

Yes, I'm running all the eye candy, an audiobook in Amarok and Chromium. Was cleaning up some snapshots with GIMP, today, so there is probably some bleed from running it also.

- KDE is even more demanding than Windows 7 When will people stop spreading this FUD on KDE. :| The defaults are demanding, but it can be configured to be just as light as XFCE or similar. Something that can't be said on GNOME 3, Unity or Cinnamon. But even then you want a RAM upgrade - web browser...

yes don't let Skype adjust the mic settings or it will turn on the front right channel you just turned off.

BTW don't let Skype control the mic. or it will override your mic settings, putting you back to were you started.

In terminal:
then launch

pavucontrol


Then:


Click the "input devices" tab. Click the lock icon to unlock channels. Set the front right channel to silence.
