Got a temporary desktop PC last Monday, and I'm still setting it up.
A 2015 PC.
* CPU: #Intel #Pentium Dual Core (2 threads) 64-bit
* GFX: #NVIDIA 9500 GT
* RAM: 2 GB
* OS (original): #Microsoft #Windows 7 (32-bit)
* DRV: 500 GB SSD
* Screen: #Samsung 15"
What I did so far:
1. Installed #GNU #Linux using #Bodhi 7 (based on #Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
2. Removed all partitions and replaced it with #LVM as provided by Bodhi installer.
3. Installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver v340.xx (it's the last version with support for 9500 GT).
What I'm planning next:
a. Find compatible RAM modules. The motherboard can handle 2, so I'm looking for 2x 4 GB RAM modules.
b. If an 8 GB RAM makes it a decent PC, I'll see if #PopOS 22.04 will run. Currently, I'm suspecting the 2 GB RAM is the reason it's slow even with a lightweight Linux OS.
LOL. This is also the first time I set up a pure Linux machine. I usually dual boot.
What species of seed are used to make #Chinese #Bodhi seed malas?

@ChrisPirillo I installed #bodhi Linux on a 2009 iMac at work from a live USB. Functions OK for working with documents and some light internet usage. Still far more usable than the MacOs it previously had.
