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/

- 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.

It's all according to what your going to do with the computer, both will work, But I would suggest 32bit with 2gbs of ram. I would suggest around 4gbs for 64bit, for 64bit make a bigger ram footprint.

Right click in the folder you want to keep it "Create New" text file name it something like monitor.sh, open it and put this in it and save. #!/bin/bash xset -dpms;xset s off Now right click on it go to properties, permissions and make it executable. Now you can just click on it to run it ...
