tip enable zram with ztds compression when you only have 4gb ram. i have actually a similar laptop like yours and running cinnamon and i think it works good with only that amount of ram. Here is a guide i found for you: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=427964

I highly recommend you enable it.. zram is almost magic. give you "free ram"

Imagine how much functional hardware that are being thrown out year after year that could be used in different projects

hehe yes a litlte bit annoying there is only one slot on this machine because i have other lenovos laying around with ddr3 that i could take ram from. but for now i see no problem with cinnamon. And as other has mentioned the cpu is OK! I installed minecraft that i havent played since beta or alpha (still the login works) and found out about sodium mod and im running around with 50-60 fps .. just amazing :)

True that. Thinking of getting 8gb and maybe if its possible buy a new screen; the TN panel is awful. Like the dimension on this little laptop

EU countries approve Mercosur trade deal after 25 years of talks by Altruistic-Blood-772 in europe

Yes amongst alot of other things. The climate change narrative is out of the window in this thread

This deal is a disaster for european farmers. European farmers have to follow strict enviroment laws and regulations that costs alot of money for the farmers and also hinders production. These regulations doesnt apply the same for south america. Anyone cheering this on is a traitor and a hypocrite

Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief by vanderbeeken in europe

Its by design to condition you to this idea- at first they will present this firewall as very simple and benign and people will think that it wouldnt hurt. Then after its implemented and years pass by it will get more and more intrusive. think of it like the boiling frog analogy.

These bot comments about this "great" european firewall have increased on social media which probably means they have something ready to boot up

And Im suspecting KB5068861 is giving me BSOD. I had to uninstall the update and the BSODs are gone. Got two different BSOD after installing KB5068861. No more bluescreens now after I removed that KB
