This content is right up my alley! Thanks for this info! I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 from 2009 which is looking quite sad with Windows 10! Linux to the rescue!
We have a few of those here running Mint and PCLinuxOS. Works great on a 1545, even after 15 years.
I run Antix linux on my Dell XPS 1530, which is the same age as your inspiron, and it's very quick. Another good one is Bunsen Labs, it's also very quick on older hardware.
I have a Dell D630 that I've owned since new. I have always dual booted Windows and linux, initially with Windows XP. In 2012, I installed a SSD and replaced Windows XP with Windows 7. I still use it as a backup machine. As for the Linux distribution that I ran on it, it was #! (Crunch Bang) and then later, Bunsen Labs linux, both are stripped down versions of Debian that run very well on older hardware.
I run Q4OS on a Samsung NC10 from 2008.... (2GB Ram, Atom CPU)...
Could try Haiku OS on it.
Install LM XFCE edition and it will fly.
While you did install h264fy, you didn't block AV1 video in the settings, which only has hardware encoding and decoding on modern graphics cards. You have to only leave h264 enabled. That will also limit your video size options to 1080p max, as resolutions past it are all encoded in eiter VP9 or AV1.
I'm a great advocate for using old hardware. I'm self-employed and my 'work' laptop is a 2014 HP250 G3 and that's more than sufficient for diagnostic and admin work. I only quit my previous daily driver laptop (an IBM Thinkpad X60) because it was a 32bit processor and this limited my OS choices.
I actually like Linux based OS (Ubuntu that I like most 😅), although Windows still remain used, as my works ares still required Windows
Probably because "I have some Windows Programs" that I use and it still only available for Windows (while some of them are available for Linux). Spotify Downloader that probably still only available for Windows (sounds weird but I use it anyway)
old pc does not need extra vga drivers
can it run Arch btw?
Arch is the poor man's Gentoo.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Arch is Gentoo for people that use computers for actual work and not just dicking around.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino Nothing says "I can't think for myself as a member of the millennial hive mind" than parroting memes someone else once said.
Gentoo is for engineers, not drones - you stick with your Arch, sonny. Learn to think like an individual, then you will be ready for Gentoo - maybe in 20 years.
Discussion closed.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I'm pretty sure engineers are too busy doing engineering stuff instead of dicking around with CFLAGs and compiling their sentries stack from source, but sure. There's no end to how delusional some Linux users are.
I have no idea, I don't use Arch, but as long as it's light-ish (which I'd assume it is), it'd likely be doable!
I would try JammyPup Puppy Linux
You said, this Laptop is built like a Tank. Yeah, I think the same 😅. This Laptop seems like, a rugged laptop used in Military 😅
Well, Linux Mint used on That laptop, is like what I've used a few times ago (2022 and 2023), but when I installed on my new Lenovo Ideapad, it was kinda sucks. Bootloader suddenly disappeared. Maybe this OS seems has unknown issue when installed alongside with Windows (in this case Win11 pre installed.) but if it's Ubuntu, is still fine
Maybe Linux seems worked a bit bad, if it installed on newer device, like my laptop I mentioned above. Btw, mine using 512 Gigs NVMe SSD
