I'm retired, a Linux fan for the last 15 years. Thank you for a DE which is flawless! You guys helped me revive a 32 bit old Gateway laptop, originally loaded with Windows Vista. It used to get overheated, acted sluggish, but not with Plasma. Desktop effects work; CPU usage at startup is hardly 1% at startup; Thanks for your work, for an OS that just WORKS!

Youre running KDE Plasma, shows how much KDE 5 has improved over time, its also my favorite.

Replaced Windows 7 with Q4OS on a Dell Inspiron N5030 and it kicks ass ... love this laptop again. Thanks Q4OS team !!!

Even the KDE version makes older hardware come to life. Im running a Dell Ltitiude E6420 and E6440 and it runs great but even my older Vostro V130 does fine.

I was recently given a N5050 and Q4OS runs really well on it.

N5050 is a nice laptop. Which cpu have you got? 4gb of ram?

Mine is Intel i3-2330 with 4Gb ram,

crosscourt · 2019-10-31 20:03

N5030 Pentium and N5050 i3 pretty much as expected.

My E6420 has an i5 2.6ghz and the E6440 has a 2.5 i5.

Dai_trying … just noticed you're using a different Kernel (E5470 Kernel) … cool! Will have to investigate further for my machine … looks like I'm nerding out this weekend.
