In my opinion sure it is. You have the luxury of 4GB (same for me, I have 3GB).Pelo wrote:About RAM indicator, is it so important ?
From what I tested XenialDog will run even with 340MB RAM, but when running firefox with multiple tabs, Youtube etc.., swap will be used soon (as you also said) and the system get's much slower.For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Docs and Facebook, your computer needs about 1 GB of RAM.
For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs about 512 MB of RAM. See minimal for systems below that RAM.

mem=512M
Possible not getting wireless because rfkill package not installed. Hope new iso can be released soonish with that fix Fred because many may be put off seeing no wireless on their machines.Pelo wrote:no wireless ! but data are surprising low about Ram used, around 120 on Acer, compared to 500 with Medion.
Do I understand well that Xenialdog doesn't work well on your old Acer?Pelo wrote:If The poor passenger has an old laptop with only 512MB The debate is quite different ! Is it a good choice to install a nice Xenialdog that will freeze all the time ? Think about the temperatue too. Often it's the first alert you get
