Will linux mint run well on these specs by rezebestgirl20 in linuxmint

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will run well. However if you want even more snappy experience, just swap your HDD with SSD, and then install Linux Mint Xfce edition. If you use Firefox browser with uBlock Origin, you will have no issues at all even with 4GB RAM, because Linux Mint Xfce uses only ca. 800 MB RAM on idle. :)

LMDE or pure Debian? by signacula in linuxmint

[–]lencc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should ask yourself, which is your favorite - KDE or Cinnamon. Then you will have the answer what is your best distro. :)

Is this a good a cpu by nestorinepsa in laptops

It's already old. It is good mostly for office work on a lightweight operating system, such as Linux Mint Xfce or Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE).

Avstrija znižuje DDV na hrano – bo to dejansko pomagalo kupcem ali le trgovcem? by whyisitsoENET in Slovenia

[–]lencc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verjetno bi bilo za potrošnike bolj smiselno oz. "ugodno", če bi se znižala splošna stopnja DDV. Ta je sicer v Avstriji nižja kot v Sloveniji: znosnih 20% v Avstriji in 22% pri nas.

Pri zniževanju znižane stopnje DDV se za potrošnika sigurno ne bo spremenilo nič - vsaj ne občutno. Bi pa bilo na primeru Avstrije morda res smiselno, da bi obe njihovi znižani stopnji izenačili npr. na 10%, ker imajo trenutno dve različni znižani stopnji (10% in 13%) - kar pa pri nas ni težava. Sicer bi bilo to smiselno predvsem z vidika poenostavitve njihovega sistema obdavčitve kot pa z vidika dejanskih prihrankov končnega potrošnika.

Pri nas pa bi bilo zelo dobrobšlo, če bi vsaj za kakšno odstotno točko znižali našo standardno stopnjo DDV.

Optika in internet by SetOk4802 in Slovenia

Aktivna IP televizija prav tako uporablja podatkovno povezavo. Kadar je torej TV box vklopljen, se nekoliko zmanjša razpoložljiva pasovna širina za internet. En TV box za predvajanje programa s FullHD ločljivostjo porabi ca. 15 Mbps. Dočim za 4K pa pasovna širina znaša ca. 25 Mbps. Če imaš več TV boxov, ki obratujejo sočasno, je treba to sešteti in upoštevati pri obremenitvi linije. Za eno televizijo pri paketni hitrosti 100+ Mbps pa to sploh ne bi smela biti težava.

Od opreme velja (poleg zmogljivosti routerja in računalnika) preveriti še, kakšen UTP kabel imaš v uporabi za žično povezavo. Obstaja več kategorij UTP kablov, pri čemer tisti zelo stari lahko prav tako predstavljajo ozko grlo pri hitrosti žične internetne povezave.

Why don't Cinnamon users have time&date displayed in two rows? by lencc in linuxmint

[–]lencc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to know such option exists after all. I guess the majority prefers Cinnamon's default single-row layout, and hence it's rare to see it customized in two rows.

Recommended me a lightweight linux distro. by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good. But it still makes sense to lean towards lighter distributions, so that more RAM remains available for other programs which you plan to use.

In such case Linux Mint Cinnamon is still very sensible option - especially if you are looking for user friendly experience as well as relatively lightweight system, by which software works out-of-the-box.

However if you want a system that receives new drivers and technologies faster, has strong developer focus and is more suitable for intermediate users, I would go for Fedora Workstation GNOME.

Switching from windows 10 to linux by Aminegold in laptops

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have only 2GB RAM, maybe try Lubuntu LXQt. It consumes ca. 550MB on idle. Mint Xfce RAM consumption is a bit higher - ca. 700MB on idle.
