Does Mint Cinnamon work?

[rain locust]

I have Celeron N3350 and 8 GB of Ram

[alpine frost]

yeah but keep in mind that's a crappy CPU so don't expect top-of-the-line performance

[rain locust]

Can I optimize it?

[half plinth]

meh

use the xfce version of Mint, or MX fluxbox

[rain locust]

Will XFCE work for this?

[half plinth]

yeah sure

[alpine frost]

if it's running win11 most likely yes

[alpine frost]

although i see an nvidia gpu, what specific card is it?

[low jasper]

Best way to check is to run it from usb. Right?

[rain locust]

I don't checked

Its running Windows 10 with extended updates

[half plinth]

from Windows, do two things:
win+r : dxdiag

and show the GRAPHICS tab of it

then
win+r: msinfo32 and show the BIOS mode

if it's old nvidia gpu: read #1429152383018991697 message

[rain locust]

How old is this?

Another Notebook has AMD 3020e Radeon and Vega 3 as GPU

[half plinth]

im still waiting on the dxdiag

[half plinth]

[rain locust]

Is better to Dual Boot?

[rain locust]

Device or Drivers?

[half plinth]

.

[rain locust]

The Screen tab?

[paper fulcrum]

I have mint running smoothly on a absolute crappy laptop with this cpu

[rain locust]

Can I install Cinnamon in that PC?

[pulsar willow]

yes, that one. sometimes it's called graphics/display/screen

[upper mountain]

I am using Xfce version of Mint on a Xeon 2670 cpu (that's ivy bridge) and I can confirm to OP that it works good. But Celeron may be weaker.

[rain locust]

Drivers too?

[rain locust]

?

[rain locust]

In a Notebook

[half plinth]

show the CPU info from this program on THIS computer

you keep confusing me with different computers

[half plinth]

and read this GOOD

[rain locust]

Its that AMD 3020e

[half plinth]

how old is that?

FUCK THIS FUCKIN GSHIT

SAY LIKE THIS:

COMPUTER 1: CPU , GPU , RAM,YEAR
COMPUTER 2: CPU, GPU, RAM, YEAR
COMPUTER 3: CPU, GPU , RAM, YEAR

[rain locust]

From 2020

[half plinth]

that one if it's all AMD, put cinnamon

if it's shit, uninstall it completely, and put xfce

[deep sable]

Mint Cinnamon will run on a Celeron N3350 with 8 GB of RAM, but it’s not going to feel great. Cinnamon is the heaviest Mint edition and that CPU is weaker than the cpu's it was built for no offence my friend . But mad respect for trying to keep it going

[alpine frost]

it's not heavy per se

running linux on ancient hardware is just bad in general no matter the DE
