I know... I know... what can I do :( can't afford to upgrade have to cover
rent and put food on the table and I wish I had your system ( some day huh

I am trying to find the distro that best uses my hardware resources without
overloading my single core cpu so yes will definitely

mainline stable kernel or pull straight from Linus then build and use a
lightweight DE like ICEWM or Awesome ?
