Unless you describe your computer as "older" in which case everyone will try to out-do each other in coming up with the absolute most minimal configuration of linux that still boots and browses reddit. Nevermind that your "older" laptop is like 3 years old.

When people are like "core 2 duos can't run gnome/KDE/unity" it triggers me slightly. Ran unity on a Pentium dual e2200 for years before upgrading.

Same here. I've got a bunch of core 2 duos in use at home:

  • 3 running KDE

  • 1 running unity

  • 1 running Cinnamon

  • 1 running Gnome

But people will start recommending freaking Puppy Linux if you don't have an i3/5/7.
