Question, I went to the LXQT site yesterday to see what the
buzz is about . . . assuming that it is not available for PPC .
. . what will the minimum system requirements be???
Hi Fritz,
that is a valid question, but one question we can't answer right now. We
don't know yet, if we can get it up and running for PPC, afaik it mostly
depends on having enough testing for it.
About the minimum and/or recommended system requirements: we haven't tested
it, yet. But I think it's reasonable to assume simmilar requirements like
LXDE. As a rule of thumb:
* 256 MB RAM, 1 GHz: barely usable at all, but should "work"
* 512-768 MB RAM, 1-1,5 GHz: a lot better, but still some kind of
limitations
* 1 GB RAM and a better processor: really useable, even the "big software"
like LibreOffice / Firefox works fine
And as an addition to that: it will not be a requirement, but if you have
working hardware acceleration from your graphic chip, this could help a
lot! Qt5 can be painted by hardware acceleration, which means: your GPU
paints the user interface, your CPU has more ressources avaible to do the
hard work. Especially modern, but low-end machines (recent Atoms, Celerons)
will profit, I'm sure about that.
