I finally moved the other desk to the other side of the room and that's officially the study area.
Also dug out my old Asus K50IJ and slapped Ubuntu 17.04 on it and, well, Ubuntu 17.04 is trash.
My netbook with Win10 runs faster than the Asus (netbook is single core, the Asus is dual-core).
I thought Ubuntu was low-spec friendly =\

Ah. MekOSS, yes, the best OS for web browsing and creative type stuff (thus why you see all the hip millennial at Starbucks with them). And Ubuntu 12.04 was good, 14.04 was cool, and 16.04 is pretty good as well. Then there's lighter flavors like Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Elementary OS, which is also a really beautiful OS.

Hehe. I could name/refresh myself on a ton of Linux OSs. There's Deepin, Zorin, Linux Mint, Pear OS (Basically a Mac OS X Mavericks clone, crossed with iOS 7, and the guy was bought off, some speculate by Apple), etc. I used to be really big into getting Linux flavors and running them in virtual box on the afore mentioned crappy laptop (some old dual core and 4-8GB of RAM, depending on what I had dug up at the time). I still have that laptop somewhere I think, but it gives and OS error on every other boot, so think I tinkered it to death. I think it's running 14.04 with the MacBuntu Theme from noobslab.
