Re: Linux information for a completely blind user with a verry old laptop
This site is pretty useful for reducing your background RAM and CPU usage, it looks scarier than it is, and as long as you make sure the column your reading is the right one you will be fine 90% of the time, and the speed increase is very worth the risk in my opinion, especially if you've backed up your files.

Also, their is CCleaner, which if run correctly at least once a week should help quite a bit, mostly for temp file, browser cash, old hotfix installers, and such, and the startup wizard can be used in place of MSConfig if you like.
Disabling things like Dropbox, Skype, anti virus UI, email clients, and the like from running at startup can help too.
Mostly though, it's just not that easy to do heavier tasks on a computer with 4GB of RAM when using a 64 bit OS, especially with older processors with no SSD.
So if Linux doesn't work out, you could go back to XP Pro with SP3, at least that way you would have a really good audio gaming machine.
I'm not sure how much using a 32 bit version of Win 10 or Win 7 would help, I'm guessing not much, but if XP is too old for you than you should at least try it.
Playing audio games is going to be hard on Linux, it seems like only a few of them work with Wine well, but you may be able to rig up an XP virtual machine and give it like 1.5 or 2GB of RAM, which should be plenty for simpler games, especially if you use the black viper service list for XP.
