Tonight I set up a dual boot between Windows 10 and Peppermint 8 on my Lenovo i3 laptop.
Peppermint 8 ran butter smooth when I booted it from a flash drive and I must say that I am very impressed with it.
Don't have as much time as I used to for Linux experiments, but I really gre tired of Windows 10. During the last month it has downloaded more than 8 GB of updates and every time it connectes to the Internet it maxes out my (ver slow) 2 meg dsl line for a few minutes. What it is doing, I cannot say as automatic updates are blocked, and no apps are open. You can forget about web browsing as Windows wants to do stuff in the background first and does not understand that I might actually want to use my laptop for something I want to do.
Busy installing apps again, looking through the old posts here to remember how to do stuff.
Tomorrow I will try to get conky working again, I really do still love resource monitors and even found a way for my P8 to show me the download speed in the status bar.
Here is to more Linux goodness to come soon (hopefully).
I used to be a Peppermint Ice user, then came Peppermint 2,3,4,5,6 and now 8 (I skipped 7). Join me on my journey! I run Peppermint 8 on my Lenovo laptop with i3 CPU, 6 GB RAM and 1 TB HDD.
