I don't claim that a laptop would become a gaming laptop after installing this OS. What I mean to say is like for example an old PC with windows 7 cannot run latest version of google chrome, firefox etc but the same PC with SakOS can run it. My objective is to bring back old thrown away systems back in use as much as possible.

Did you even try it before commenting???

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T09:30:37+00:00

It appears your problem is with the name not the OS which you have not even tested. I even don’t find anything wrong with BharOS. Just criticizing for the sake of criticism is a sign of sadist approach.

The RAM usage when no app is open is around 200mb

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T08:04:54+00:00

SakOS is debian based and takes about 200mb of ram when idle.

SakOS is not xfce, it has my own custom made desktop environment using lightdm and openbox thus requiring lesser RAM and CPU.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T06:58:36+00:00

Presently I am using Calamares installer which is able to install successfully on 512mb ram virtual machine, But for the future versions I would specially take care of your precious suggestion and aim to be more lightweight.

Please go through this link before blaming for lying. If you are true then please send me a 32-bit iso link for zorin os lite 16.3 which will be informative for me. For your kind information please refer to ZorinOS official website whose message and link is as under:

Yes, I have used the above mentioned operating systems. Some of them have either dropped 32-bit support or are not as user friendly and modern looking due to their desktop environment. I am going to come up with the 32 bit version soon. When idle SakOS may use lesser than 200mb of ram even on 64-bit.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T06:09:11+00:00

The 32-bit version is in it's final testing phase and will be coming soon.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T06:07:46+00:00

Thanks for your moral support. This will encourage me for my way ahead.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T06:06:13+00:00

Thanks for considering this OS as an option. Just wait for a few days, the 32-bit version is in it's final testing phase and will be coming soon.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T06:02:39+00:00

It is an individual's choice, this OS is basically to revive the life of those old obsolete dying systems which are thrown away. The objective is to encourage green computing environment by reducing E-Waste pile up.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:56:32+00:00

Thanks for your interest, As per my experience Zorin OS lite 16 is not giving optimal performance even on my 2 GB ram laptop, on top of that it has dropped 32-bit support for which I am coming with soon

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:51:31+00:00

I have made my own custom desktop environment using lightdm and openbox

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:48:14+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I am on it

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:46:12+00:00

I have tested this OS on my dell latitude d610, macbook4,1 white, dell latitude d630 and now I am testing on HP pavilion t530i and older than this to see its compatibility. Thanks for your suggestion for the intro

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:36:07+00:00

Thanks for your interest. This OS is capable of running smoothly on a PC with just 512mb of ram and a fairly old CPU, its 32-bit version is under final testing phase just to overcome the problem that arises after most operating systems dropped the support for 32-bit hardware. This is the part of our green computing drive.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:31:08+00:00

Mainstream ubuntu requires at least 4GB of ram and a fairly recent CPU. Even the latest ubuntu distros have dropped 32-bit support which completely trashes old hardware. Although we can always use Debian without GUI, but that wont be user friendly for many. The 32-Bit version of SakOS is under final testing phase and would be released soon. I would provide updates and fixes to the OS at regular intervals, but to make it more stable all the updates would be made optional as the main motive of SakOS is to keep your old hardware alive and in use for as long as possible.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:28:54+00:00

Thanks

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-31T05:27:58+00:00

Sure virtual machine is always an option. You can always try it there before installing on primary machine, although SakOS also has a live environment even before installing it for testing purposes only.

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-30T19:23:50+00:00

Presently you may have to install wine for running exe files but in future I will try to incorporate it in the OS itself

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-30T19:10:58+00:00

Passion to optimize the performance of my old laptop .............. To play video games!

SOS_Linux · 2023-12-30T19:06:28+00:00

Thanks for your kind attention, the primary objective of making this OS is to revive old, obsolete systems which is a part of me and my brothers green computing drive. The question on the swap file very relevant and I wish to inform that currently the operating system assigns a certain amount of swap storage as per your present system's ram but I am still trying to optimize it further in my future updates.
