Running Linux on the Motile 14 laptop
So the last time I posted about the Motile 14 laptop from Walmart I said I was going to upgrade it with 16 GB of RAM and a second SSD so I could dual boot Windows with Linux. Well, it didn’t quite work out that way. The first thing was that I felt like a…

Linux Mint 20 on the Lenovo 14W
Linux Mint recently released Linux Mint 20. I was eager to try the Cinnamon version of LM20 because I read that it came with fractional scaling built-in. You can catch up on why fractional scaling is so important to the Lenovo 14W here. Last weekend, I installed the beta version of LM20 on the under[powered…

Lenovo 14w laptop review and Linux recommendations
If you don’t mind I’d like to indulge my tech side for a moment. Over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, I purchased a Lenovo 14w laptop (sponsored link) for $120. This is a low-end laptop intended to be used by school students. Basically, it’s a Windows version of a Chromebook. The problem with this laptop…

The Asus 4G Surf Linux Challenge: ToriOS
Just when I think that there can’t be another Linux distro to fit on the tiny hard drive of the Asus EeePC 701 4G Surf, the Linux community surprises me. As I’ve mentioned before, I love it when DistroWatch adds a new distro to their database. Not too long ago they added a distro called…

Trench’s adventures in Linux: Zorin OS 12 Core

Trench’s further adventures in Linux: Enchantment OS
One of my favorite things, as a Linux fan, is to read the weekly issues of Distrowatch’s ‘Distrowatch Weekly’, and seeing what new Linux distros are being added to their database. In the August 29th issue, under the ‘Distributions added to waiting list’ section was a distro called Enchantment OS, and it was described as…

The Asus 4G Surf Linux Challenge: wattOS 10
I almost thought about not doing the EEEpc challenge anymore. I was playing a video game and tried using the Surf to look something up about the game. The Surf was so slow to work that I thought that it’s not really a functional computer anymore. Not only is it a 9-year-old computer, but my…

The Asus 4G Surf Linux Challenge: Zorin OS 11 Lite
I’ve been a fan of the Zorin OS Linux distro for a while now. Their Core OS is a great Linux distro for those just getting into Linux if they’re coming from a Windows background. It’s also good for regular Linux users if you just want to install a distro and just have it work…

Trench’s Linux Recommendation: Linux Lite
Recently I came into possession of an older netbook. It was recommended to me to use Linux Lite on it as its repeating system as Linux Lite is said to be great for older and low powered computers. I was pleasantly pleased with the performance of it on my netbook. Then my main laptop was…
