Yes, but not on the PC that I do most of my email on. That one uses
CentOS, and I'm trying Linux Mint on the laptop at the moment. The
current version of Fedora was diabolical on it, it was as slow as a
dog
(it is a very old laptop, so I'm not that surprised), and had a 1
hertz
flashing at the top of the screen unless I fiddled with a desktop
rendering option every time I booted up. Yet Mint was miles better
on
it.
I had Mint for a while on an ancient Asus EEE, but then Mint stopped
supporting 32-bits (though I think there's a Debian variant that still
has it). My current laptop is an Acer about 7 years old and has only
4GB of RAM, yet runs F35 quite well (I swapped the HDD for an old SSD
which made all the difference).
Anyway, this is getting OT.
